A Soulful Journey

“Rabbi Zvi Chaim Yisroel…was unanimously hailed as the wisest man of the Renaissance by his fellow Hebrews, who totaled a sixteenth of one percent of the population.”  - Woody Allen We are a minute portion of the populace but never underestimate the power of one.

The Talmud records that when Bar Kappara reported that the Angels triumphed,    that the Holy Ark captured, the rabbis responded, “Do you mean to say that Rabbi Judah has died?” ”You have said it, not I,” he answered. For Bar Kappara, his master Rabbi Judah did not die.   He remained alive through his eyes. May be the same can be said for all those who have passed before us.   When they have left a great imprint on our lives they remain ever alive in our thoughts and behavior.
