An author once brought his book, called “The Hands of Moses” to Rabbi Charif for his approval. After reading it and not finding it worthwhile, the Rabbi wrote:
“I would suggest that you change the name of the book. Instead of calling it “The Hands of Moses,” call it the “Face of Moses” because it is something one can’t look at.”
Humor is often funny. Even more often it is harmful. Laughter at another's expense can cause lasting pain.
