"If you don't know what you're living for, you haven't yet lived.” Rabbi Noah Weinberg, of
blessed memory

"Life is the most precious thing we have. Everyone wants to live a life of meaning. But we are so
busy 'living' that we don't have a moment to really think about living. One of my father’s
priorities was getting people to ask the big questions in life, to get out of the pettiness and
focus on living a life of real purpose". Yehuda Weinberg

“If I am I because you are you, and you are you because I am I, then I am not I and you are
not you. But if I am I because I am I, and you are you because you are you, then I am I and
you are you.” Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Kotzk

"A self-definition that based on other’s perspective is untrue and deceptive". Rabbi Zev
Pomeranz

"There are no problems, only opportunities for growth." Rebbetzin Dena Weinberg
"It gets me through almost everything. It means that God is sending me this so that I can grow.
It prevents me from blaming others, including myself. It frames a situation not as something
overwhelming that is impossible to solve, but as a puzzle that can be worked out, and the
process of working it out is where real growth takes place. Words are powerful; as soon as you
reframe from "problem" to "opportunity," you pull down the covers, get out of bed, pull up your
boot straps and rise to the occasion. No one wants problems, but who doesn't want
opportunities?" Lori Palatnik

“If I am not for me, who is for me; and if I am (only) for myself, what am I. And if not now,
when?” Hillel, Ethics of the Fathers, 1:14
I find this to be the most inspirational and motivating message. I was created for a specific
purpose – there is no other 'me.' Consider that I am here for others – bearing the 'me' in mind,
how can I make the difference to the world? Lastly, there's no time like the present". Rabbi
Chaim Cohen

“Who is wise? One who learns from every man… Who is strong? One who overpowers his
inclinations… Who is rich? One who is satisfied with his lot… Who is honourable? One who
honours his fellows.” Ben Zoma, Ethics of the Fathers, 4:1
