A reflection on "Ain Od Milvado"

Rabbi Yom Tov Glasser gives the Moshol of a person watching a movie in a movie theater that is very emotional.  On the screen, a little child is crying.  You feel so bad for the child that you run to the screen and try to hug the child, but really you are hugging the screen.

This is our lives,  we focus on the physical aspects and forget the spiritual aspects.  We can spend our lives "hugging the screen", or we can spend our lives looking at the source.

from a Shiur by Rabbi Yom Tov Glasser
