“When we are suffering, Hashem feels our pain.  He’s pained by the fact that we sinned; and He’s pained further by the suffering He has to send us to help us atone for it. An example of this is found in Isaiah (63:9), where it says: ‘In all their affliction, He was afflicted.'” ~  R’ Shalom Arush

“I would rather live my life as if there is a God, and die to find out there isn’t, than to live my life as if there isn’t, and die to find out there is.” ~ Albert Camus

“When I’m learning Torah the deepest depths is not that I want to understand what it says.  The deepest depths is that I want to know how it relates to me, why do I need it?  Why did you tell me that G-d?” – R’ Shlomo Carlebach
