Connected by Tubes of Non-Material Love

We were sent the above image from a friend in Chicago, who wrote the following about it: “We are connected by tubes of non-material love. Loving the other not only becomes important, it is in style!

* The Story of Cogwheels – an article for kids in the 14th issue of Kabbalah Today.
* Love, Deciphered – an article explaining that true love can only be infinite.
* Love Is the Way – an article tracing the founding of the method for attaining everlasting love.
