Sometimes you look at yourself in the mirror and you feel unqualified. You know yourself, your failures and your faults, and you don't feel like you could be a model for others.
You say, "I should teach others? I should provide guidance?!"
So we tell you, “Yes. Because that is your place upon this planet: We live in a time when all those who know Alef must teach Alef and those who know what comes after Alef must teach that too.”
“And G‑d Above, who formed you and put you in the here and now, He knows who you are and how you are and what you are capable of accomplishing. If He believes in you, you must as well.”
Teach others and become great.

“And they cried unto the Lord in their troubles. And He delivered them from their distress… He broke their bonds asunder. He led them to a city to dwell in…,Let them thank the Lord for His wonderful works to the children of men.”
“How marvelous are Thy works.”
