Two men who had not seen each other for 30 years meet up:

HUMBLE A few years ago I was at a workshop and as an icebreaker we each had to pick a folded piece of paper with a single word on it, out of a box.

We then had to say the first thing that came into our mind when reading the word.
The word that I chose happened to be 'ordinary' and the response was ' what a relief!' Reply

The Baal Shem Tov taught that "everything a person sees is a lesson in the service of G-d." Join Michoel on a weekly photo shoot to explore the wisdom of Torah and Chassidic thought through the camera's lens.
