Candle A Day

Candle A Day - Vayigash

By Rabbi Shraga Silverstein

A man can greatly profit from a new culture by consciously selecting from it what is good, to engraft onto the good aspects of his native culture, and by allowing the hold of those negative elements of his old culture which are not present in his new one to weaken and, hopefully, to disappear through lack of reinforcement.
