Look Up!

When the Tzemach Tzedek, the third Chabad Rebbe, was a child, he was playing on a ladder with other children. All the children climbed half way up, and he was the only child who climbed all the way to the top. Afterwards, his grandfather, Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, who was standing by the window watching, asked him, "Why is it that you were not afraid to climb to the top when all your friends gave up?" He answered, "Simple. I never looked down. I just kept looking up. When I saw how I low I was that motivated me to climb higher." - Simon Jacobson

Climb Ever Higher!

“I look upon religion as a mountain upon which men are climbing towards the peak to God.  My concern is that every man shall find a road, and as long as he is in ascent I am not going to quarrel with him about who has the right road.  Let the ascent be the test.” - Rabbi Barnett Brickner
