Rabbi Moshe Becker

There is always a choice to be made.

Everyone's contribution, and occasionally sacrifice, is necessary.

Allowing each individual's particular talents to find expression strengthens the entire unit.

Insults are easy to give but hard to retract.

Each and every person we interact with can teach something.

We must remember to keep the long term ramifications of a lie in mind.

Even Isaac and Ishmael were able to set aside their distance and differences to focus on what united them.

There is almost always a way to maintain harmony in the face of different views, even if the solution is to agree to disagree.

The need to forgive and, if possible, forget, is vitally important.

We must give our children opportunities to view themselves as successes.
