Daily Quote
Both the books and my father belonged to the Chassidim
Rebbetzin Chaya Mushkah Schneersohn (1901-1988), daughter of the 6th Lubavitcher Rebbe Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneerson, when asked - in court testimony in the trial over the ownership of her father's library - if the library was the property of her father or of the chassidic community
Daily Thought
Esau
said, “I have a lot.”
Jacob
said, “I have all.” As in “all I need.”
Esau
had a family of six. They were called “six souls.”
Plural.
Jacob
had a family of seventy. They were called “seventy soul.” Singular.
Esau
lived in a granular, tossed-together, fragmented world in which he collected a
lot of things and many people. A noisy world.
Jacob
lived in a universe, a singular whole, in which all he encountered was only
another manifestation of an essential oneness. Wherever he was, he had
everything.
And
you? Do you have many things? Or do you have much light? Maamar Hechaltzu 5659, chapter 3.
