Learning to Let Go

Reb Chaim Wolozinger's brother Reb Zalman was a great school and genius.  Friday afternoon, while he was in the bathhouse, someone stole his shirt.  Reb Zalman murmured not one word about it, dressed and went home.

"Where is your shirt?" his wife asked in surprise.

"Oh, someone just made an exchange with me," Reb Zalman replied.

"Then where is other man's shirt?" she demanded.

"The other person," Reb Zalman smiled, "forgot to leave his."


What a great gift it is to ourselves to learn to let go.

Of course, now in the 21 st century we must ask: are we better or worse for it?
