Immensly touched. Yes, you know the core of me: that yearning of my soul, of finding a home, an eternal one.

Your short article speakes volumes.

The parable is a moving comment on the pain of alientaion and exile which can never be killed or soothed with the finest jewellery and gold.

This story also depicts the mission of Chabad--they spread all over the world, in the depths of every country, in order to find sparks of holiness (lost nashamot) and purfiy/refine them and bring them back to teshuva.

I got so much out of this story and the explanations that ensued. Thank you so much!

To paraphrase Albert Einstein, one needs a tremendous imagination (the greatest and holiest of gifts) to translate images into reality.

this is a wonderful story. where does it come from? Is this a new story or was it told before by the Rebbe? thank you

hi....
I just want that the author should bring out a nodern day parable which we can see in one way or the other in some people.... so that we can understand more

This story adds to the wisdom of the world .... The Pheonix a mythical bird also rises to another life from the ashes of destruction.
I wonder : are our stories the product of our history or is the telling and retelling of our stories what creates our history?
Maybe both?
What do I hear within this story? There are many riches (gold, and g_d) to be had and this requires incorporating the concept of distance, journeying far and giving up much. There is also the message that those we love and who love us most often have the greatest wisdom and insight when their wisdom comes to our lives....and such truths are often hard for us to hear!

Beautiful story for the Jewish people, and I believe God wants all his people back who will come.
