Take Me Into Your Heart
By: Yehuda Berg
Sunday, September 28
My father and teacher, Rav Berg, recently shared this thought with a few close students:
"Many think I am the head of The Kabbalah Centre because I started the movement. That is not the reason. It is because I take more responsibility for more people's lives than anyone else. A real leader is someone who is not afraid to take responsibility for other peoples' lives."
Caring about people, this is what it means to lead. Resisting the reflex to cut people off, to see them as separate from us, to judge them without compassion, this is what it means to lead. Doing for others with no thought of return, this is what it means to lead.
I challenge you today to take responsibility for one person, to take them into your heart and to care for them as if they were you.
