ALEPH Canada is dedicated to reclaiming the Jewish people’s sacred purpose of partnership with the Divine in the inseparable tasks of healing the world and healing our hearts.
In this teaching, R. Menachem Mendel of Vitebsk shares his understanding of true humility. As you can read in the final endnote, translating this teaching was difficult and we can't be 100% sure we got it all right. At the same time, his concluding section is especially challenging as he simultaneously talks about having a living teacher while also knowing that one cannot simply emulate another, no matter how learned or enlightened, but rather must find one's own way.
Translation and commentary by R. Daniel Siegel and R. Amy Grossblatt Pessah
