True family

“The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other’s life. Rarely do members of one family grow up under the same roof.”

“Humility”

Once a rabbi, a story goes, praying alone in the temple, glimpsed the infinitude of the Universe. Ritualistically tearing his shirt, he shouted in awe, “I am nobody! I am nobody!”

The chairman of the temple saw the rabbi in ecstasy and also tore his shirt and began to shout, “I am nobody!”

The janitor, seeing the rabbi and the chairman, was also engulfed in ecstasy, tore his shirt, and exclaimed joyfully, “I am nobody! I am nobody!”

At that, the chairman and rabbi fell silent. The chairman pointed to the janitor and said, “Look who thinks he’s nobody.”
