A Soulful Journey

Christian author Frederick Buechner once wrote: “There is no evidence of a prophet ever being invited back a second time for dinner.” People often do not wish to hear the truth; the would rather listen to the voices that agree with them. Or as  Israel Salanter said,  “A rabbi about whom there is no controversy is not much of a rabbi.”

"The Vilna Gaon says (in a commentary on Proverbs) that one of the functions of a Jewish prophet was to tell an individual the particular path his soul had to follow."  - Rabbi Michael Rosen We all have a given path, one which is delineated only for us.  No one else can execute this God-given task for no one else has our unique skill.  Our life's mission is to find it and do it.
