Daily Quote
Every kindness bestowed by G-d should cause a person to be exceedingly humble. For a Divine kindness means that G-d is literally bringing the person closer to Himself; and the closer a person is to G-d, the greater the humility this should evoke in him. Since "all before Him is as naught," the more "before Him" a person is, the more "as naught" should he perceive himself to be.
Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, upon his liberation from prison

No Work This Year!
"The holiness of Rosh Hashanah becomes one with the holiness of Shabbos, giving this Rosh Hashanah a new dimension and content, which — in view of Rosh Hashanah being the "head" of the year, as mentioned above — must influence the daily life throughout the year..."
