First question for your table: How did you break your "fast" last night?
If you recall from two weeks ago, I suggested we all start pursuing "RI" instead of "AI".
Go ahead and use AI, but don't pursue it. What we should all be pursuing is RI.
And where would you guess is the first go-to source of RI?
It's our great book called Pirkei Avot. Here's a nugget:
If I'm not for myself, who will be for me?
And if I'm only for myself, what am I?
How about this one:
The world stands on three things: Torah (wisdom), Avodah (spirituality), and Chesed (acts of kindness).
Most people excel at one of these at least, some excel at two of them.
Second question for your table: Should one try to excel at all three?
For the full RI-value, we recommend a good translation with commentary. Our top 3 picks for adults, youth, and children are here.
Shabbat Shalom ... enjoy your challah!
