Hi all!

The founder of Hassidism, the holy Rabbi Israel Eliezer Baal Shem Tov (c. 1700-1760), says that there is at least one thing we can all learn from our Evil Impulse (our Christian friends can substitute "the Devil"). Look at the efforts it is willing to go to to achieve its goals. Most people usually give up (in their efforts to achieve their goals) long before.

Be well!

Why substitute the devil -Jesus whooped him good and proper and permanently -call Evil Impulse and Sin for what it is -the product of the human heart -Jeremiah 17:9. It's what comes out from within that defiles. Only Jesus can cleanse the dis-eased heart. :wave:
