A Message Through The Ages From Anne Frank
לְתַאֲוָה יְבַקֵּשׁ נִפְרָד בְּכָל־תּוּשִׁיָּה יִתְגַּלָּע׃ He who isolates himself pursues his desires; He disdains all competence. מֹאזְנֵי מִרְמָה תּוֹעֲבַת יְהֹוָה וְאֶבֶן שְׁלֵמָה רְצוֹנוֹ׃ False scales are an abomination to Hashem; An honest weight pleases Him. בְּנִי תּוֹרָתִי אַל־תִּשְׁכָּח וּמִצְוׂתַי יִצֹּר לִבֶּךָ׃ My son, do not forget my teaching, But let your mind retain my commandments; פַּלְגֵי־מַיִם לֶב־מֶלֶךְ בְּיַד־יְהֹוָה עַל־כָּל־אֲשֶׁר יַחְפֹּץ יַטֶּנּוּ׃ Like channeled water is the mind of the king in Hashem's hand; He directs it to whatever He wishes. דִּבְרֵי לְמוּאֵל מֶלֶךְ מַשָּׂא אֲשֶׁר־יִסְּרַתּוּ אִמּוֹ׃ The words of Lemuel, king of Massa, with which his mother admonished him: וַיַּקְהֵל מֹשֶׁה אֶת־כָּל־עֲדַת בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵהֶם אֵלֶּה הַדְּבָרִים אֲשֶׁר־צִוָּה יְהֹוָה לַעֲשֹׂת אֹתָם׃ Moshe then convoked the whole Israelite community and said to them: These are the things that Hashem has commanded you to do: וְעָשָׂה בְצַלְאֵל וְאָהֳלִיאָב וְכֹל אִישׁ חֲכַם־לֵב אֲשֶׁר נָתַן יְהֹוָה חָכְמָה וּתְבוּנָה בָּהֵמָּה לָדַעַת לַעֲשֹׂת אֶת־כָּל־מְלֶאכֶת עֲבֹדַת הַקֹּדֶשׁ לְכֹל אֲשֶׁר־צִוָּה יְהֹוָה׃ Let, then, Betzalel and Oholiav and all the skilled persons whom Hashem has endowed with skill and ability to perform expertly all the tasks connected with the service of the sanctuary carry out all that Hashem has commanded.
“How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world”
The diary of Anne Frank has become one of the most illuminating first-hand accounts of the Holocaust’s terrible atrocities. Israel was founded in 1948 so that Jews would have a home that they can defend and protect; so that no Jewish life would ever again end as tragically as Anne Frank’s.
