Owning a book can be the first step to growth. The Rebbe taught us that just like a Pushka in your kitchen, if you see a book in your home, you’re more likely to engage with it—and eventually, it becomes part of your life. In Kabbalah, we learn that the end is tied to the beginning, and the beginning is tied to the end. The key is to take the first step. Start something good—whether or not you see immediate results, because, wink wink, you will be paid back. Challenge yourself, keep growing, and together, we can light up this dark world, making it brighter and better for everyone.
