life in the desert

Sunday, May 22, 2005

"There once was a Rabbi who was asked by his students, "Teacher, how could one determine the hour when night ends and day begins?"

One student suggested,"Is it when one can distinguish a sheep from a dog in the distance?"

"No," said the Rabbi.

A second student ventured,"Is it when one can distinguish a date tree from a fig tree in the distance?"

"No," said the Rabbi.

"Please, tell us the answer," the students begged.

"It is when you can look into the face of a stranger and see your sister or brother," said the Rabbi. "Until then, night is still with us."

Hey Marybeth. Loved the post. You are so right on!
I am sure Rosie will be closing down the comments, but I am also sure she knew this would happen with such a controversal subject. LOL
