No Such Thing as a Small Jew

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

Can any Jew be called small? A boy in Curacao was harassed in school, and his troubled father poured out his heart at the little Orthodox shul. At that moment a shliach the Rebbe had sent arrived at that very shul. The father later signed a letter as a small Jew from Curacao, and the Rebbe answered that no Jew is small, because, as the Tanya teaches, every Jew carries a godly soul.

Key points

• The shliach's taxi brought him to the little Orthodox shul just as the troubled father walked out.
• The Rebbe answered that no Jew is small, since the Tanya gives every Jew a godly soul.
• Mesiras nefesh taken on freely, without opposition forcing it, is greater than that of earlier generations.
