Sayings by the Tzadikim

The Besht interpreted the verse (Kohelet 3:19) “the advantage of Man over the animals is nothing since everything is futile,” that the greatness of a Man consists in him knowing that he is nothing.

R. Mendel Vitepsker said [regarding the verse in Psalms 85:12] “Truth shall spring out of the earth” but I who am even lower than the ground, from me it will certainly sprout.

Recently there have been changes in research and more complex methods and approaches have been introduced that find characteristics unique to late Hasidim.
