Grasshopper Mentality – If You Don’t Believe in Yourself, Who Will?

By Rabbi Yoseph Kahanov Jax, Florida

“A mind troubled by doubt cannot focus on the course to victory.”

Back in the 1930’s, a large shoe conglomerate with stores all over North America, wished to explore the developing market of the emerging African Continent. Two high level representatives were dispatched to scout the villages across the continent and assess the opportunities.

Before long, the first rep. reported back: “The mission is a disaster. No one in these parts even knows what shoes are, let alone wears them! The situation is hopeless.”

Soon after, the second scout filed his own report. His cable read: “Urgent! Send 10,000 pairs of shoes ASAP. The place is ripe with opportunity. Nobody here owns a pair of shoes!”

Torah in Memory of Chana (Raskin) Wolwosky

For nearly a year the Lubavitch community has been mourning the tragic loss of Chana (Raskin) Wolwosky OBM. As her first Yartzeit approaches, a community in California will be honoring her legacy.

This coming sunday, the Chabad Jewish center of Rancho Santa Fe will be concluding the community’s first Sefer Torah, dedicated in loving memory of Chana. How appropriate an honor for a young lady who spent the last years of her short life teaching Torah to children.
