The Devotion of Man
By Dr. Harry Hamburger

All the devotions of man
must serve to reveal glory
wisdom renews the worlds
with words of Torah story

When you are the willow
will plant by the brook
the sun will help grow
delight to all who look

When the scoffers all denied
the purity of Sarah's birth
son resembled his father
so all admitted his worth

Are two sons of Yitzchak
one who wishes to enslave
the other who is wise
when together benevolence will save

Each must heal his soul
study the Torah every day
to exalt above the heavens
sanctify G-d when they pray

Married to Claudia, the Hamburgers have two boys - Jordan 15, and Joshua 9.  Part of Jordan’s bar mitzvah celebration consisted of visiting Israel, where he read part of his Torah portion on top of Masada.  Joshua is a very spiritual young boy who lecturers his Dad daily on proper behavior.

After visiting Israel twice, Dr. Hamburger says, “I feel like it is my real home, and that I am living in exile in Miami.  I hope one day to have a home in Israel.” The doctor is a serious student of both Chabad and Breslov Chasidism, and supports both. Dr. Hamburger is also a long time benefactor of the Lev LaLev Fund.
