- [Avodah] walk humbly August 28, 2024I don't understand this at all. It seems like gibberish. The Beis Halevi disappered from the stage? Reb Chaim, Reb Moshe, and, last but definitely not least, the Rov himself??? Everyone has a desire for a part in the nitzchiyus of the Beri'ah. In whatever manner he or she perceives to be Ratzon Hashem. By […]

God hates glamor, fame, external glitter, and vainglory. He loves the actor who appears on the stage for a short while, plays his or her part humbly, and disappears immediately without receiving applause. Man stands […]
