JUST PASSING THROUGH
In the last century, a tourist from America paid a visit to a renowned Polish rabbi, Hofetz Chaim. He was astonished to see that the rabbi’s house was only a simple room filled with books, plus a table and a bench. “Rabbi,” asked the tourist, “where is your furniture?” “Where is yours?” replied the rabbi. “Mine?” asked the puzzled American. “But I am only a visitor here. I’m only passing through.” Said the rabbi, “So am I.” From Stories and Parables for Preachers and Teachers, by Paul J. Wharton, Paulist Press, Mahwah, NJ, 1986
