“Dear student,
when I give the report cards at the end of the semester, I am always reminded of another report card, almost like at school… It is given by our Father in Heaven, Who is everywhere. But instead of the regular subjects and exam grades, He gives grades in the following subjects: friendliness, patience, understanding, love, kindness, responsibility, gratitude, humility. And that other report card is important, even more than any other grade. And not just once or twice a year, but every moment that passes. Because many times during life we forget, and forget again, that being a person with good midos (good character traits) is the real test in life! Good luck,
Teacher Chaya”.
What a stark contrast between those who sanctify death and those who sanctify friendliness, patience, understanding and love.
