No Operation Needed Dr. Harold Serebro
Afterwards, in ensuing years, Rabbi Bernhard and I often spoke about it when we got together on Jewish festivals or for Shabbat dinners. The lesson to me was that you have to listen to everyone’s opinion, because arrogance comes before the fall. I was irritated in the beginning, but at the end I was astounded. And this incident had a very profound effect on me. Because of it, I started reading a lot of teachings and writings of the Rebbe and, even if I never had any personal contact with him, I was deeply affected by his tremendous wisdom. Read More
Parasha Sheet Parashat Bamidbar
Q. Why was it necessary to take a census of the Jewish people? Surely Hashem should have known how many Jews there were in the Jewish nation!
A. Our Sages tell us that Hashem loves the Jewish people dearly and therefore He counts the Jewish nation all the time. It is like a rich man counting his gold; Hashem continually counts what is dearest to Him - the Jewish people. Read More
