Greetings Friends,

May Peace Be With You.

A humble, vegetarian man sits with a blanket in front of the door to his home after the Seder. Whilst walking by, men ask what he is doing:

‘I am waiting for the angels of God, so I can bear witness: ‘I am a man who strives for humility before the one True God and that I love God greater than I love myself.’ And if the words of my testimony are insufficient, let me be like Isaac; let my blood bear the sign upon the door for Pesach.’

The humble man concludes,

‘Besides, it is good preparation for Sukkot.’
