No commandment surpasses the one concerning the liberation of hostages, for they are among the starving, the thirsting, the stripped, always in danger of death.
Elie WieselA disciple came to the celebrated Master of the Good Name with a question. โRabbi, how are we to distinguish between a true master and a fake?โ And the master of the good name said, โWhen you meet a person who poses as a master, ask him a question: whether he knows how to purify your thoughts. If he says that he knows, then he is a fake.
