The Baal Shem Tov once said: A young man wanted to learn the art of becoming a blacksmith. He went to an older man seeking to become his apprentice. Learning from his teacher, the boy was a quick study; he learned all the skills of the trade. Going out on his own, however, the young man soon failed. He returned to his teacher and asked what he was doing wrong. The elder replied: “You have all the information, all the tools, and you’ve mastered the techniques. What remains is learn to kindle the spark.”
