What is a Jew's place in the world?




SimchaMinute
A quotation-a-day by Rabbi Avigdor Miller

Even loyal and proud Jews are accustomed to thinking that the most they can claim is an important place in the world. Jews are humble and fair-minded, and this concept is almost repugnant to many.

But the open declarations of the Scriptures cannot be disregarded. They speak clearly and declare that Israel (not the State of Israel, which is the antithesis of the name Israel) occupies the place; it occupies the world and the Universe.  
Awake, My Glory

Chovos Halevavos has become the foundation for Jews in their service of Hashem. Great Torah luminaries, e.g. Rabbi Yosef Karo, Rabbi Yitzchak Luria, the Vilna Gaon and Rabbi Elimelech of Lizhensk immersed themselves in the sefer and encouraged others to do likewise. Simchas Hachaim Publishing is publishing Chovos Halevavos with Rabbi Avigdor Miller’s insights.
