“You can learn by looking at any thing,” the Rabbi once told his Hasidim. “Everything in this world exists to instruct us.” Not only what the Lord has done, but also what men have done, makes us wise.
“What does the railroad teach us, for example,” one Hasid asked doubtfully?
- That if you are a moment late, you can miss everything.
- What about the telegraph?
- That every word counts.
- And the phone?
- What do they hear there, what do we say here?
