- Reb Shlomo Carlebach ztl - My father once told us, 'Someday, you'll be rabbis, and I want to guide you on where to focus your energy.' He posed a question: 'With whom should you invest your time?' He gave an example: 'Imagine a holy city like Bnei Brak on a Friday night. At a red light, a car stops. A Hasidic Jew, with a shtrumel and seven children, crosses the street. Two cars witness this scene. In one car, someone mutters disdainfully, 'Disgusting, barbaric with fur on their head. Those poor kids, religion has robbed them of their spontaneity.' The observer wishes he could hurt them, but knows he can't.

In contrast, the person in the other car also watches the Hasidic Jew and his children. Tears well up in his eyes as he murmurs, 'Master of the world, I wish I could walk with my own children like that.' Perhaps his children are far away, and he rarely sees them. My father explained, 'This person, who yearns for something deeper but doesn't know how to find it, is valuable to you. The other person doesn't want it; there's no point. The Messiah will handle it
