Three Steps to Achieving Greatness

by Shira Schechter (Moderator) | f 10, 2023 | Shemot, Fear of God, God, Humility, Justice, Kindness and Compassion, Leadership

By Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz “You’re a lot shorter in person than I expected.” That is the phrase that actors hear most often. It is the flip side of the “larger than life” perception of famous people. Science fiction stories about time machines always portray the...
