Quote of the Month

"For an artist who has the tool of his art in his hand can do his work but if he does not have the tool of his art he can do nothing. Therefore, hearken to correction (musar) and take the tool of your art into your hands in order to correct your qualities. [...] And weigh every single quality in the balance-scale of your wisdom until you learn to know the value of every quality, and you will know those qualities which the Great King has declared void and you will guard yourself against them so that they will not appear in you and will not be found in you except under such circumstances where you will not receive injury or punishment. And in this way you will attain complete fulfillment, and you will be an artist with the proper tool of your art in your hand."

(Orḥot Ẓaddiqim)
