Stars

It was morning, and despite the elements, despite the obstacles, these hearty Jews were at synagogue. I realized that the Jew is indeed, as G‑d promised to Abraham, like the stars of the sky.

In one pivotal moment, the star seems to be relating its life story: birth, growth, death, and even afterlife, fuse together in a strange and tragic way

It’s a phenomenon predicted by Albert Einstein nearly a century ago, but never directly observed until now . . .

Jewish mystics teach that judging others favorably is the true test of righteousness.
