This leads us into the study for next week, which is the best of the best of all creation of Elohim!
I agree with you there. Even when I'm having a difficult time understanding what is happening in the world and in my life, even when I'm discouraged about the progress that I'm making in accomplishing personal and financial goals... I can always go back and remember to be thankful for my wife. She is the most amazing person I have met, and I'm incredibly blessed that she is found to be my partner and helper. :)
Is that why they're called matzah balls? Because they hide in the broth?
Congratulations on being "completed" and staying that way. I cannot answer the question about those balls. I would guess that they are made from the actual crackers, but you can go with whatever the Spirit of El reveals to you. He is not embarrassed by his creation and the way things all work.
