Moishe Goldberg was heading out of
the Synagogue one day, and as always Rabbi Mendel was standing at the door,
shaking hands as the Congregation departed. The rabbi grabbed Moishe by the hand, pulled him aside and whispered these words
at him: "You need to join the Army of God!"Moishe replied: "I'm
already in the Army of God, Rabbi."The rabbi questioned: "Then how
come I don't see you except for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur?"Moishe
whispered back: "I'm in the secret service."
“To say the right thing at the right time, keep still most of the time.” John W. Roper Those who get in trouble most often are those cannot seem to keep still, remain silent. Life teaches many lessons. Among the best lessons of life is one my father taught me at an early age was, “If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing.” The contributions we make to life via our mouth are many and varied. Most of the time, I reckon, they are not contributions at all, but things that diminish the richness of life.
