Why would Hashem want Jews to be small in number?




SimchaMinute

A quotation-a-day by Rabbi Avigdor Miller

You must know that we are an "Am chacham v’navon — An understanding nation" ...

The Jew has to make up his mind he’s not going to be impressed by the numbers that oppose him, and that’s going to give us the biggest reward. The fact that we have opposition, the fact that it’s not easy to fight against such a big number of opponents, that gives us more reward. — Reward of Emunah (#207)

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.
