In the shtetl of Berditchev, Rabbi Levi
Yitzchak once saw a simple Jew oiling
his wagon wheels, wearing his tallis and
tefillin, right in the middle of
davening.
The townspeople scoffed.
Why is he working during prayers?
But the Berditchever smiled.
What a holy Jew, he said.
Even with his hands in oil and grease,
he is praying.
He always found the good in every Jew.
Think of today.
A young man watches Gemara cartoons with
Reb Ellie Stefansky.
Some say,
cartoons?
Is that not downgrading the Torah?
But what would the Berditchever say?
He would smile and say,
look,
while he is watching cartoons,
he is learning Gemara.
