Jewish History

Klonimus Wolf Wissotzky, the son of poor parents, established The Wissotzky Tea company in 1849 and became known as the "King of Russian Tea." He was a great Jewish philanthropist and called for the settlement of Jews in Israel, which initiated the move of Jews to Lod, Nablus and Gaza. In his will he left over a million rubles to charity.

In 1936, Wissotzky Tea became the very first tea company in Palestine and has since been the leading tea company in Israel.

Daily Thought

Blind faith believes that which it is told, because it wants to believe.

Intellect believes that which it understands, because it wants to attain understanding.

Wisdom believes that which is true, because it is true.

Wisdom doesn’t have to fit that which some self-serving faith wishes to believe. Neither does it await the approval of intellect to say, “This can be understood.”

Wisdom is a power of vision, the power to see “that which is” without attempting to fit it into any mold. It is not blind at all, but it is nevertheless faith beyond reason. Because when you see the truth before you, all the reason in the world can't convince you otherwise.

Wisdom, therefore, is the only channel by which an Infinite G‑d may enter.

Tanya, chapter 35.
