„(Shemonah Kevatzim, I, 234) *** Many times we search for...”

"the righteous" in the wrong places.

True uprightness is found in people who speak with integrity in their everyday language, in their conversation, in their routine, in their character traits.

As the prophet Micah said: "He has told you, O man, what is good and what the Lord requires of you: only to do justice and to love kindness and to walk humbly with your God."

A great person is one who does justice and kindness, who does his deeds discreetly and without fanfare. True "righteousness" is found in good people.

May these words be a candle for the soul of Minister Uri Orbach. An upright and beloved man.
