• “The Jewish Talmud wisely explains that everyone must give an account to God of everything one saw in life and did not enjoy…Biblically speaking, part of fearing God means relishing even his earthy gifts and having a fantastic time when we are young. Anything else is disobedience. Bold enjoyment is a serious matter.”
