On
this Shabbat as Jon and I have left our
home in Irvine for a new home in Reno,
I am reminded of the wise words of Rabbi
Menachem Mendl Schneerson:
A container is defined by its contents.
A pitcher of water is water.
A
crate of apples is apples. A house,
too, is defined by what it contains.
Fill
your house with books of Torah and your
house becomes Torah.
Affix
tzedakah boxes to its walls and your house
becomes a
wellspring of charity.
Bring
those who need a warm home to your table,
and your house becomes a lamp in the darkness.
-- Rabbi Appleby
