(Pirke Avot 4:1)
Only someone «who learns from everyone» is wise .
Only someone «who learns from everyone» is wise .
The point is not to be a nothing.
G-d created you to be a something.
But not a something because you are something.
A something because your purpose is everything.
All Israel has a share in the World to Come, as is stated: «And your people are all righteous; they shall inherit the land forever. They are the shoot of My planting, the work of My hands, in which I take pride.» (Sanhedrin, 11:1)
Todo Israel tiene parte en el Mundo por Venir, como esta establecido: « Y tu pueblo son todos justos, ellos heredarán la tierra para siempre. Ellos son los renuevos de Mi plantío,obra de Mis manos, en la cual Me enorgullezco.» (Sanedrín, 11:01)
Our fathers, the holy Rebbes, bequeathed a boundless heritage to
the first Chassidim, that their sons’ children and their daughters’
children throughout the generations, in whatever country and
environment they may be, will have that «root» – which is the
attraction of their «inwardness of heart» to the rock from which
they were hewn.
When asked to reflect upon the significance of Jerusalem, renowned Holocaust survivor and Nobel prize winner, Elie Wiesel said:
“Jerusalem must remain the world’s Jewish spiritual capital, not a symbol of anguish and bitterness, but a symbol of trust and hope».
Ten miracles were performed for our forefathers in the Holy Temple: No woman ever miscarried because of the smell of the holy meat. The holy meat never spoiled. Never was a fly seen in the slaughterhouse. Never did the High Priest have an accidental seminal discharge on Yom Kippur. The rains did not extinguish the wood-fire burning upon the altar. The wind did not prevail over the column of smoke [rising from the altar]. No disqualifying problem was ever discovered in the omer offering, the «two loaves» or the showbread. They stood crowded but had ample space in which to prostate themselves. Never did a snake or scorpion cause injury in Jerusalem. And no man ever said to his fellow «My lodging in Jerusalem is too cramped for me.»
