Daily Dose I
Self- Made Exile
There is nothing larger than a mitzvah.
There is nothing more powerful than Torah.
When you are occupied in these things,
 the whole world becomes your servant, there but to stage your actions.
Exile begins when we believe the world is a big place and we are its tiny prisoners.

DAILY DOSE:
A Safe World
At one time we thought human ethics could care for the world.
"Human intelligence," we argued, "will find truth and protect it."
We discovered we were wrong. The nation that cultivated the human mind
 to its highest degree committed the most horrifying crimes of our age.
Human intelligence today has not saved the world, but ravaged it.
Humankind cannot live securely on this earth until we recognize it for what it is:
A creation cherished by its Creator, who continues to involve Himself
in it at every moment with all His essence and being.
 And so it is full of wisdom and beauty without end.
He has put this masterpiece, and the masterpiece of our own bodies
and selves in our hands and told us how to care for them

4 Shvat
Yahrtzeit of Rabbi Yisrael Abuchatzeira, the great Sephardic sage and kabbalist known as the Baba Sali (1889-1984). Born in Morocco, the Baba Sali made aliyah following the creation of the State of Israel, eventually settling in the Negev town of Netivot. There he served as a central address for Jews seeking advice, blessings, and in many cases, miracles. Stories abound of his supernatural abilities -- if someone complained about a physical malady, he would prescribe a spiritual action to rectify it. If he was presented with money as a gift, he could identify if it was earned in a "kosher" way or not. He had elevated beyond the physical to the extent that he would eat only small morsels each day. Today his grave in Netivot is a popular place of pilgrimage and prayer.
