Just as your hand, held before the eye, can hide the tallest mountain, so this small earthly life keeps us from seeing the vast radiance that fills the core of the universe.
We each have the kind of children we deserve.
If we do not help a man in trouble, it is as if we caused the trouble.
It is a great mitzvah to be happy always.
Always help the persecuted.
Include yourself in any reproof.
