Small, Yet Great

Torah emphasizes the advantage of “smallness”: Jacob was “the small one.” And we are all preparing to greet Moshiach, son of David, and “David is the smallest.”

On a leap year we celebrate a ‘Small Purim’ As well as a ‘Small Shushan Purim’

G-d is the ‘Great Luminary’ Who illuminates and provides for heaven, earth and all his creations. We, who receive everything from the Great Luminary, must do everything we can to become ‘Small Luminaries,’ a reflection of G-d Himself.

Although you are small in comparison to the world as a whole, still, you are a Luminary – who can light up heaven and earth through Torah and Mitzvos.

Although we are quantitatively small compared to the rest of the world, in reality, Jewish children guide the world and bring redemption to the entire world.
