We Too Are Children

Rebbe Responsa | June 27, 2025

By the Grace of G-d
Lag B’Omer, 5723
Brooklyn, N. Y.
Mr. and Mrs. S. Benjamin Lieberman
1921 Mermaid Avenue
Brooklyn 24, N.Y.

Greeting and Blessings
I received your letter in which you write about an appointment. The matter has been turned over to the appointment secretary to have you in mind when there should be a cancellation.

Since everything is by Divine Providence, and inasmuch as this letter is written on Lag B’Omer, you will find the enclosed message timely and useful. Although the message refers to children, it is well known that all Jews are called G-d’s children, as the Torah says, "You are children unto G-d your G-d”. Moreover, we are all "children" also in a literal sense, if we compare our intelligence with the infinite intelligence of the Torah. However, where one approaches the study of Yiddishkeit and all matters connected with the Jewish way of life with humility and realization of our intellectual limitations, this in itself assures a better and deeper understanding and insight. Thus we say in our prayer, "My soul will be as lowly as the dust - open my heart into your Torah".

I again send you my prayerful wishes that the home which you are establishing should be firmly based on the foundations of the Torah and Mitzvoth, and may all the good wishes which have been extended to you on your marriage be fulfilled, material spiritually.
With Blessing,
By Nissan Mindel
