Chassidic Thought
	Am I Only Human? By Baruch Epstein An animal does what it does, it makes no choices, it makes no mistakes. Lions eat zebras and raccoons knock over garbage pails. We can be annoyed but never angry with them. We must never be raccoons.
	Should I Convert to Judaism? Is Judaism For Everybody? By Tzvi Freeman My mother was a fairly devout Italian Catholic and my father an Anglican skeptic who never went to church. I was always so confused. Then I discovered Judaism, and I love it! What's my next step?
	How Do I Know What is my Mission in Life? By Chana Weisberg Since the beginning of time a "piece of the world" has been waiting for a particular soul to purify and repair it; but how do we we know which piece is ours?
	Can Hallucinogenics Aid Spirituality? I've heard that certain tribes used various narcotic substances to help achieve a mystic state. Is there room for this in Jewish practice?
	The Two Talmuds Why are there two Talmuds? And why is the "Babylonian Talmud" concidered more authoritative than the "Jerusalem Talmud"? By Eliezer Posner Why are there two Talmuds? And why is the "Babylonian Talmud" concidered more authoritative than the "Jerusalem Talmud"?

One whose wisdom is greater than his deeds, what is he comparable to? To a tree with many branches and few roots; comes a storm and uproots it, and turns it on its face... But one whose deeds are greater than his wisdom, to what is he compared? To a tree with many roots and few branches, whom all the storms in the world cannot budge from its place.

— Ethics of the Fathers 3:17
