“The Talmud tells a story about a great Rabbi who is dying, he has become a goses, but he cannot die because outside all his students are praying for him to live and this is distracting to his soul. His maidservant climbs to the roof of the hut where the Rabbi is dying and hurls a clay vessel to the ground. The sound diverts the students, who stop praying.

The servant, too, the Talmud says, is guaranteed her place in the world to come.” WorldSoulMomentsStoriesDiesHeavenSoundDyingStudentsPrayingServantClimbsThat MomentRoofClayVesselPlaces In The WorldRabbiHuts Author:Jonathan Rosen
