Kabbalah Thought for this week
"A good computer depends on a powerful microprocessor, but if a tiny,insignificant wire is absent or defective, the entire system is rendered inoperable. All the elements...are equally important. Similarly, evryone inthis world is as important as the most righteous sage,including those we might consider to be a lower level of spirituality than ourselves. It behoovesus to stop judgening others, and to recognize that every person plays a vital role in the spiritual structure of humanity."
From the Talmud
It is important to get accurate information so that restitution is fair and makes a person whole.
