It was a remarkable – if not miraculous landing. A Polish airplane whose landing gear had refused to open and was thus forced to land on its belly with no wheels. A hair-raising and incredibly dangerous thing to attempt – everyone was expecting the worst. Nevertheless the plane’s captain Tadeusz Wrona (an expert glider) managed to pull it off and all 230 passengers were saved. He was later rightly crowned a hero by the passengers and the airline for having saved the lives of all those people.
Can we learn anything from this event?

The other night I received a call from a friend. He was very conflicted and under a lot of stress. He works for a company and receives just enough money to cover his most basic expenses. Worse yet, he sees no room for growth within the company.
Thursday, Novemeber 17, the 20th day of the Hebrew month of Cheshvan, marks the 151st anniversary of the birth of visionary Jewish leader and chasidic Rebbe, Rabbi Sholom Dovber Schneersohn. Though he lived only to age 59, he served as a noted leader for the largely rural Jewish communities throughout the expanses of the Russian Empire, guiding their transition to life in the modern era. During his life, he fought the oppression of both the Czarist and Bolshevik regimes as well as the tides of assimilation corroding traditional Jewish life.
