Exponential Growth


King Solomon describes Torah as being dearer than pearls and diamonds (Proverbs 3:15).  The Chofetz Chaim comments:  The monetary value of diamonds goes up exponentially, depending on the number of carats.  If a one-carat stone is worth a thousand dollars, a two-carat stone is valued at much more than two thousand dollars, and a five-carat diamond is worth at least thirty times that amount; the increase in value is disproportionate to the increase in size.  Good deeds performed by a large group of people are similar.  Their value is increased many times over as the number of participants increases. ~ The Pierkei Avos Treasury

With that in mind, let’s take it upon ourselves as a group to increase our mitzvos in the zchus of our friend, Shalom Katz (Shalom ben Shoshana Chana) who we pray will have a speedy and complete recovery.
