  THE GOOD POINTS – AZAMRA! written by  Chaim Kramer   March 1, 2021 All credit goes to Rabbi  Chaim Kramer    and  Breslov.org Know! you must judge all people favorably. Even in the case of a complete sinner, you must search until you find some good in him! Judge everybody favorably! ( Avot  1:6). This promotes peace (Rashi). One who judges others favorably, is himself judged favorably ( Shabbat  127b). God’s way is to focus on the good. Even if there are things which are not so good, He only looks for the good. How much more do we have to avoid focusing on the faults of our friends. We are obligated to seek only the good – always! ( Likutey Moharan  II, 17). * * * Rebbe Nachman teaches: Know! you must judge all people favorably. Even in the case of a complete sinner, you must search until you find some good in him, some small aspect in which he is not a sinner. Buy doing this, you actually elevate him to the side of merit. You can then...

  | THE MOMENT | LIVING HIGHER: TO SEE AND APPRECIATE POTENTIAL  By  Mishpacha Staff   | AUGUST 31, 2021 Email Print From 1958 until his passing in 1991, Rav Ezriel Yehuda Leibowitz led the American Vienner kehillah   H e was known as the Hodhazer Rav, for the town in the Hungarian Oberland where he served as dayan and rosh yeshivah. After Rav Ezriel Yehudah Leibowitz arrived in the US, he was called to lead the Vienner kehillah in Williamsburg where he founded the kehillah’s flagship yeshivah, Nachlas Yaakov, serving as guide and mentor to that first generation of American-born children, transmitting the majesty and truth of the Chasam Sofer’s path. The ability to see and appreciate potential in each talmid was evident even as a young man, when Rav Leibowitz led the yeshivah in Hodhaz before the war. Following the mesorah of the Chasam Sofer, he discouraged chassidic customs and pursuits that took talmidim away from the beis medrash, but there was one talmid fo...

  | EVERY SOUL A WORLD | RAV YEHUDA JACOBS  By  Rabbi Efraim Stauber  and  Yisroel Besser   | MAY 6, 2020 Email Print His approach was the furthest thing from preaching. Instead, you felt his desire to live life as a better human being.  In Tribute to Rav Yehuda Jacobs So Human, So Great I   was 13 years old and living in Scranton, Pennsylvania when my mother remarried a special widower: the venerated mashgiach and unmatched  baal eitzah  of BMG, Rav Yehuda Jacobs. People say that when you get close to greatness you start to see the flaws. But I experienced the opposite. I won’t pretend to understand or try to define the giant who became a father to me; I can only attempt to describe what I saw from my unique vantage point of a very great man. Rabbi Jacobs – or as we called him, Tatty -- was totally congruent. He saw himself as the most ordinary of people; the only difference being that he didn’t demand the ordinary amount of respect. A ...
