Passing Through
Filed in: Parables 1-25 Authors M-R
An American tourist went to Cairo to visit the famous Polish rabbi Hafez Avim. The tourist was surprised to see that the rabbi lived in a simple, book-lined room, in which the only pieces of furniture were a table and a bench.
“Rabbi, where’s all your furniture?” asked the tourist.
“Why, where’s yours?” retorted Hafez.
“Mine? But I’m just passing through.”
“So am I,” said the rabbi.
Submit to love without thinking.
