"The LORD will not despise a broken heart"

                        (King David, "more or less") 

"Tora begins when a little bit of ham falls in the matza-brei
soup"

                         (R. Shlomo Carlebach, pretty close)


-----------------------------------------------------------------

"Once you get to know human beings, you are surprised neither by
their sublimity nor by their depravity."
                  (Henry Miller, recollected)

"Humani sum, et in mihi nihil humanorum alienem puta"

                       (Some Roman) 

-----------------------------------------------------------------

One who davens with a corrupt congregation must distinguish
himself from the congregation by breaking at least one halacha or
minhag a day.                                          

If they wear black loafers, wear "tan shoes with pink shoe laces".

"My Daddy always told me:  Don't make a makloket; wear socks of
two different colours."
                              (R. David Herzberg, z'lb)

------------------------------------------------------------------ 

In general:
If you can tell who the ba'al tfilla is underneath the tallis, he
or you should step outside. 

R. Shlomo or Shlomo haMelech would say:  If Sprintzela invites me
to drink coffee, am I going to invite my Uncle Fred with his New
York Daily Mirror?

================================================================

One who denounces to the authorities somoene who poses no danger
to the community that the authorities can resolve and the
community can not, is deemed a denunciator.  He is forbidden to
lead the congregation in daily prayers, for there the curse of the
Sammy the Runt against Denunciators must be intoned.   If he does
lead that prayer, one must not participate in that minyan,
as_it_is_said,  Don't kill yourself, you just wind up in the same
place without a credit card; and as_it_is_said, don't stand by
watching your neighbor play Russian Roulette.            

Who are the authorities:  they who disregard the individuality of
those over whom they may rule, as it is said, let Chesed prevail
over Din.

The Assistant Postmaster said:  You can't do that; it's stealing;
that's one of the ten commandments.  I said back:  there's still
nine left.                                      

"Weil fur dieses leben ist der Mensch nicht streng genug."
(Brecht).  
Scim & scam as best you can, but don't touch those who are
vulnerable -- that's Amalek -- and don't endanger the community
thereby.

It is obligatory to inform upon anyone who poses a danger to the
community. 
But excessive force is not legitimate.  Fair retribution is not
justice.

I walked 10 miles through tangled woods and found R. Shlomo about
to make kiddish.  He said, I hope nobody jumped the gate [so you
can say]  "'It's mine; I paid for it.'" "People have died from my
kiddishes."

=================================================================

Nature may kill you, but it will never mock you.

One who mocks the suffering of another, having caused that
suffering, may have a place in the world_to_come, but he will have
to wait for the murderers and rapists to be seated.
For he denies to a being made in the Divine image even the
last_ditch dignity of victimhood.
If I eat in the house of the King, even table-scraps off costly
plates (for everyone knows, the King is a potter (Mahzor), shall I
smash one of the plates and say, nothing personal Your Majesty.
