Lessons in Humility and Purpose: Mendy Leitner’s Assembly

​Mendy Leitner (13YB) delivered an inspiring assembly this morning, sharing the meaningful story of his late grandfather. He recounted how his grandfather always carried a notebook to record original Torah insights and questions. Mendy also shared the well-known teaching of R' Simcha Bunim of Peshischa, that one should always carry two notes in their pockets: one reading "בשבילי נברא העולם" (The world was created for me), and the other "ואנכי עפר ואפר" (I am but dust and ashes). To conclude, Mendy distributed notebooks with these powerful sayings printed on them.
