A High Priest under the Same Roof as a Corpse

"Neither shall he come close to any dead body"—Leviticus 21:11.

Daily Quote
No matter how hard a person works, no matter how much time or ingenuity he invests in his career or business, he will not earn a single cent more than what has been ordained for him from Above. Everything we do is merely the fashioning of the channel through which the divine blessing would flow and the vessels in which to receive them.
