Regardless of Wealth

Posted on July 20, 2017 by Emuna Daily

We should show honor and respect to every person we meet regardless of whether they are wealthy or poor. The only difference between a wealthy person and the poor person is the amount of money they have.  Both are created in the image of the Almighty and when someone honors people he is ultimately honoring their Creator. ~ Rashis Chochma: shaar haanavah

Food

Posted on July 19, 2017 by Emuna Daily

Hashem could have made a system that produces food within us; sunshine and the air [could] combine with the water that we drink, and food and starch [would be] created inside of us like plants.

But no – Hashem wanted the food to come from outside of us, because the food teaches us that He is the one that gives us the food. ~ Rav Avigdor Miller zt”l
