“Bitachon is a mitzvah too, and yet most of our children do not know the basic ‘laws of bitachon’”
I read this week’s Voice in the Crowd from Yisroel Besser, and as always he was on point. The central point of the article highlighting the importance of a compliment really resonated with me.
Personally, and I suspect I’m not the only one, I feel somewhat cheesy when giving a compliment, and that it doesn’t do much good because it comes across as such. I’ve come to learn this is false. An honest, well-placed compliment can go a long way.
On this note, I would like to thank Yisroel Besser for this great article and all the great articles he writes on a regular basis. As a millennial growing up in a fast-paced, instant-gratification era, I’m ashamed to admit it is not in my nature to read magazine articles longer than a page long. However, whenever I start reading Voice in the Crowd, without fail, I am drawn in immediately by the brilliant blend of humor, light, non-condescending criticism, novel ideas, and just basic smooth writing.
Thank you, Reb Yisroel, for providing consistent and stimulating material.
