“Hashem loves our desires more than our successes. He does not need success, he needs those who don’t succeed, who stumble, who are humiliated and down and yet not broken – they start anew. We must remember that everything that happens to us is designed to cure, correct, cleanse, purify, purge and benefit us – to bring us to the ultimate purpose.” ~ Rav Menachem Azolai as translated by Dov Elias
