SELF EXTENSIONS

[70b middle] Gemarah: Even though a woman may be accustomed to certain luxuries, once she gets married and starts a family, she may be willing to sacrifice things for the household (as she has new other exciting things in her life that she enjoys focusing on instead).

D-E-ep Thoughts (based on R’ Tatz): When we are able to view our spouses and children as extensions of ourselves, it becomes so much easier to want to give selflessly. This is they key to be able to “love others as ourselves,” (as they literally are us!). We should work on expanding this principle to our entire Jewish nation to become ‘like one man with one heart.’
