Peace at Home


Rabbi Simon ben Gamliel said: “He who makes peace in his home, Torah ascribes it to him as if he had made peace for every single Jew in Israel.  He who brings jealousy and strife into his house it is as if he brought them among all the people of Israel."  –Avot D’Rabbi Natan A, 28

The world will be in turmoil if our home is in that state.  We need to be less concerned with matters beyond our control and more focussed on what lies within our borders.
