Book Title Bringing Heaven Down to Earth
Based on letters and talks of the Rebbe, Rabbi M. M. Schneerson

125. Chutzpa

This world operates on chutzpah.

It has the chutzpah to declare itself a world, to assert that it is autonomous from its Creator, to deny any relationship to the very force that is continually bringing it into being every moment.

We will fight chutzpah with chutzpah.

Oh I get it!
Following the small voice that sometimes is drowned out by the mundane world. This one had me going for sure. Yes this is a challenge that requires chutzpa. Since the voice can seem small, chutzpa must be its confident and equally audacious companion: a given. This says a lot about our living here and how we view events past, present, and future. Thanks Rabbi.

Chutzpa
B'H
Chutzpa a very strong word from our Yiddish language. I have never thought of it in the manner it is presented in this daily dose. I find it opens my eyes to another way of thinking an using it, as well showing me a new respect in commuting with people. I should think first about not using this word loosely. Give some understanding for people who do not think as I have been thought. Think what G-D and our Blessed Rebbe is trying to convey to us. Rabbi Freeman, this is a very profound statement and I will think first before I open my mouth and show a disrespect for me as well as others. A gut Shabbos to all.
