They replied, "If men had worshipped the things • which the world does not need, He would certainly have de- stroyed them. But they wor- ship the sun, moon, stars and planets. Is He to destroy His world because of the fools?" The questioners replied, "Then He ought at least to destroy the things which the world does not need, and leave the others." The elders said, "Then the worshipers of the stars, sun, and moon would be streng- thened in their idolatry, for they would say, 'Behold, THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS these verily are true., gods, Friday, Nov. 29, 1974-17 for they have not been de- less, himself a great artist endowed with the artist's true spirit. His art, however, like that of his Egyptian country- men was directed to the col- ossal and indestructible. But he did not, like the Egyp- tians, mold his masterpieces out of brick and granite, rather did he build human pyramids. He carved human obelisks. He took a poor shepherd tribe and out of it created a people, that even like the pyramids defies the centuries, an eternal, holy people, God's people, that might serve as model to all other peoples, indeed, as the prototype of humanity; he created Israel! . . . The writ- er of these pages might well be proud that his ancestors belong to the noble house of Israel, that he is a descend- ant of those martyrs who gave the world a God and an ethic, who struggled and suf- fered on all the battlefields of ideas.—Heinrich Heine, in "Confessions."

In explana- tion he told the following fa- ble: "An old mouse sent out her son to search for food, but warned him to be -careful of the enemy. The young mouse met a‘ rooster and hastened back to his mother in great terror. He described the en- emy as a haughty being with an upstanding red comb. 'He is no enemy of ours,' said the old mouse, and sent her son out again. "This time he met a turkey, and was still more fright- ened. 'Oh, Mother,' he said, panting, 'I saw a great puffed up being with a deadly look, ready to kill.' " 'Neither is he our enemy,' replied the mother. 'Our en- emy keeps his head down like an exceedingly humble person, he is smooth and soft- spoken, friendly in appear- ance, and acts as if he were a very kind creature. If you meet him, beware!' " Sayings of the Kotzker Said the Kotzker (died 1859): "take care of your own soul and of another man's body, not of your own body and of another man's soul." An ignorant villager, hav- ing heard it is a good reli- gious deed to eat and drink on the day before the atone- ment fast, drank himself in- to a stupor. He awoke late at night, too late for the eve- ning services. Not knowing the prayers by heart, he de- vised a plan. He repeated the letters of the alphabet over and over, beseeching the Al- mighty to arrange them into the proper words of prayer. The following day he attend- ed the synagogue of the Kotz- ker and confessed his trans- gression. Whereupon the Zad- dik declared: "Your prayer was more acceptable than mine because you uttered it with the entire devotion of your heart." * * Said the Kotzker: "There are three ways in which a man can go about performing a good deed. 'If he says: 'I shall do it soon, the way is poor. If he says: 'I am ready to do it now,' the way is of average quality. If he says: `I am doing it,' the way is praiseworthy." * * * The Kotzker Rebbe also said: "Death is merely mov- ing from one home to an- other. If we are wise, we will make the latter the more beautiful home." * * Said the Ropshitzer: "I was once loathe to accept a rab- binical post, inasmuch as I believed I would be com- pelled to resort to flattery. I despise flattery. Then I ob- served that everyone must practice flattery, whether he be tailor, shoemaker, or store- keeper. Hence, I said to my- self: "Since flattery is an un- avoidable and u niv ers al necessity, I may as well be- come a rabbi.' " "Your house is in peace" refers to one who loves his wife as himself and honors her more than himself, who leads his children in the right path.—Talmud
