"One old Hasidic rabbi asked his pupils how they could tell when the night had ended and the day begun, for that is the time for certain holy prayers.

"Is it," proposed one student, "when you can see an animal in the distance and tell whether it is a sheep or a dog?" "no," answered the rabbi.

"Is it when you can clearly see the lines on your palm?" "no," answered the rabbi each time.

"Then what is it" the pupils demanded. "It is when you can look on the face of any man or woman and see that they are your sister or brother. Until then it is still night.""

"My cows are not happy. I bought them a TV, I brush them and talk to them, but they're mean to me. My cows are not happy. I sing them a song, and tell them a story, but even this seems wrong. One day, I was sick. I told the gardener to let them roam free. And then I remembered the gardener was ME. I leapt out of bed with new strength to spare, and let those cows free. Now I dance with those cows every chance I get, and when it rains, we rarely get wet."

"How should God reveal Himself?

God decided to reveal himself to a king and a peasant. He sent an angel to inform them of the blessed news. "O. King," the angel announced, "God has deigned to reveal Himself to you- in whatever manner you wish. In what form do you want Him to appear?"

Seated on his throne and surrounded by awe-struck subjects, the King proclaimed, "How else would I wish to see God, save in his Majesty and Power? Show Him to us in the full glory of his Kingship!"

God granted this wish and appeared as a bolt of lightning that instantly pulverized the King and his court. Nothing, not even a cinder, remained.

The angel then manifested himself to a peasant, saying: "God deigns to reveal Himself to you in whatever manner you desire. How do you wish to see God?"

Scratching his head and puzzling a long while, the peasant finally said, "I am a poor man and not worthy to see God face to face. But if it is His will to show Himself to me, let it be in those things with which I am familiar. Let me see God in the earth I plough, the water I drink, the food I eat. Let me see God in the faces of my family and neighbors." God granted the peasant his wish, and he lived a long and happy life. May God grant you the same!"
