The role of forgetting
By zevi770 · February 21, 2012
Forgetting is a very interesting thing
We forget
Forgetting means that we don’t remember
Not remembering means it is as if we never learnt what we learnt
What a crime
Our sages teach us, one should never forget
The shortest and perhaps most salient vort (Jewish saying, told to the holy Tzaddikim, masters, disciples of the Maggid coming from the Holy Baal Shem Tov which each one of them integrated into their lives was ) “What do you remember.”
To remember what is important in life
To stay focused
To not let ourselves forget
This supersedes everything, for without it we have nothing
