If you want to understand a society or a civilization, go look at what they build… Romans, Egyptians and other great empires built big fancy pyramids and coliseums. Those great civilizations no longer exist but the Jewish nation continues on. And why? Because we asked the deepest question we can ask- how in this brief span of years we call a life, do we have a share of eternity?
They thought the way is building towers that will stand for ever but they forgot one thing. They built lifeless monument but they didn’t live. Am Yisrael lives forever because we write our beliefs, values and faith on the heart of your children. That’s why we build a Beit Midrash, handing our values to the next generation. the students here in Tefahot, are our future. You are our future and you are happy in it.
