THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Friday, December 26, 1969 25 - Sayings of Baal Shem-Tov (Besht), Founder of Hasidic Movement Think not that you are superior to your fellowman in your devo- tion. If he is not endowed with as fine an intellect as yours, he is equal to you when he serves God to the best of his ability. A worm may be as important as you in the eyes of the Creator, since it serves Him with all the strength granted it. . Brood not upon your sin, for this leads to melancholy and prevents sincere service to God. Express contrition in your heart for your wrongdoing; resolve not to repeat it, and serve God with joy. Make no respqnse to one who ridicules your devotions. If he re- torts in anger, your devotions will thus lead to quarrelsomenes and thereby become worthless. Accustom yourself to keep con- stantly in mind the knowledge that whatever gives you pleasure de- rives its ability to please from God. Every pleasure will then become an act of praise to the Lord for endowning everything with His Spirit. When a man squeezes wine grapes into a vessel, he must first use a sieve with large holes to strain it; later he uses a cheese- cloth. But no matter how many times he will strain it, some sedi- ment will still remain. It is the same with the Zaddik. He must rid himself of his evil inclinations and continue to do so his entire life. But there are always a few dregs left over. * * * A man of piety complained to the Besht, saying: "I have labored hard and long in the service of the Lord, and yet I have received no improvement. I am still an ordi- nary and ignorant person." The Besht answered: "You have gained the realization that you are ordinary and ignorant, and this in itself is a worthy acomplishment." * * * The chief joy of the Satan is when he succeeds in persuading a man that an evil deed is a Mitzva For when a man is weak and corn- Educator Suggests 'Ethics Counselors' The appointment of ethics coun- selors in Jewish schools to help ease society's morality crisis has been urged by Dr. Zalman F. Ury, head conslutant, Bureau of Jewish Education of the Jewish Federa- tion—Council of Greater Los An- geles. Dr. Ury's views are presented in "The Musar (Jewish ethics) Move- ment," a monograph published by Yeshiva University, New York Ctiy. The work was issued as part of the university's "Studies in Torah Judaism," edited by Dr. Leon D. Stitskin. "The current crisis in morality in our society and the complex international situation seem to warrant special efforts in the area of character education," Dr. Ury said. "Jewish schools, elementary and secondary, must begin attaching more importance to character education. To this end, supervisory (masgiah)-type ethisc counseloors should be ap- pointed." According to Dr. Ury, spiritual leader of Young Israel of Beverly Hills, the counselor would conduct the school's moral guidance pro- gram, directing discussions and debates on ethical issues, serving as a "moral guide and mentor" to individual students and leading group-analysis sessions. Dr. Ury's work, concentrating on the educational implications of the Musar Movement, analyzes the doctrines of Rabbi Israel Salanter (1810-1883), founder of the move- ment, and his successors, Rabbi Moses Isaac, Rabbi Joseph Hur- witz and Rabbi Nathan Z.
