Jewish Wisdom Tips.

In the eyes of the Jews, suffering can be transformed into the wealth of life, and it is in the battle against the devil that mankind tempers itself.

For suffering, everyone will have a psychology that involuntarily wants to escape, but as everyone knows, life can be sweeter after experiencing suffering. Therefore, by teaching the child the skills of tasting, he can understand what is really sweet.

In the face of all achievements, the suffering of the Jews is something to be proud of. The tribulations of life, the sickness of the body, the dangers of survival, being ostracized, displaced, and discriminating against people... These sufferings have long since become a kind of strength, which is calmly transmitted to everyone with the footsteps of history.

In a famous museum in Carthage, there is a painting called "The General", which shows a man playing chess with the devil, and the devil is in danger, the devil is the general. This game of chess is a symbol of human destiny, and suffering is the devil who is in general. The Jews have always "educated their children about suffering", and in the eyes of the Jews, suffering can be transformed into the wealth of life, and it is in the battle against the devil that mankind has tempered itself.

There is a little story about "ordeal education": a Jewish scholar, who had just finished his studies, went to Arizarabi and asked for a letter of recommendation.

My child," the rabbi said to him, "you have to face the harsh reality. If you want to write a book full of knowledge, you have to be like a peddler, carrying jars and jars, selling them door to door, starving until you are 40 years old. ”

So what will happen to me after I turn 40? The young scholar asked hopefully.

Arizarabi smiled encouragingly: "After the age of 40, you will get used to it all. ”

The Jews have a long history of "ordeal education", and "Passover" is one of the most important festivals.

The Passover was established to commemorate Moses' leadership of the Jews from Egypt to remember the hardships of life by telling the story of the hardships of the ancestors and eating special foods. At Passover, each household has three unleavened loaves of bread, a plate of food, five kinds of food, and four glasses of wine on their table, all of which have different meanings.

Let's start with three pieces of unleavened bread, when the Jews fled Egypt, they had no time to prepare dry food for the road, so they had to eat unleavened bread, and the three pieces were said to commemorate the three ancestors of the Jews.

A plate of food, five foods, the five foods are: roast leg of lamb, roasted eggs, haloses, a plate of bitter vegetables, a plate of salted celery. Roast leg of lamb was a "Passover" sacrifice, and after the Jews lost their temple and had nowhere to offer sacrifices, they used roast leg of lamb (or roasted meat) at the feast instead. Baked eggs, Passover eggs are baked, and the eggs are tough and hard to bite, and the Jewish people are like roasted eggs, the longer they suffer, the stronger they become, just as the longer they are baked, the harder they become. Harroses, which is a mixture of fruits, spices, and wine, is pureed. Before the Israelites expelled from Egypt, Pharaoh beat them by making bricks and not fodder, and Harroses reminded them of the clay used to make bricks. A dish of bitter herbs commemorates the suffering of the Jews in Egypt. A dish of salted celery, the bitter sea water of the Red Sea that the Jews drank when they came out of Egypt, salted celery, meant that the Jews would always remember the suffering of the Exodus.

In addition, the Four Cups of Wine and the Passover Seder are arranged in a series of four cups of wine, and in the middle there are stories about the Jews' exodus from Egypt, which not only explain the meaning of all the food items at the Passover, but also tell the main suffering of the Jews in Egypt and the arduous journey out of Egypt.

The famous philosopher Spinoza was educated in this way from an early age, and his father's narration of the history of Jewish suffering made a deep impression on Spinoza's young mind. As a child, Spinoza often stood alone in front of the grave of the pioneer of Jewish skepticism, Agusta, and meditated, and a desire to dedicate himself to the truth arose that remained with him throughout his life.

In fact, almost every Jew's success is inseparable from suffering, such as Mendelssohn being forced to move to Berlin and the Kissinger family being forced to move to the United States...

Suffering education has a profound impact on a person's life, many people always avoid suffering and are unwilling to taste it, but you must know that only by experiencing suffering can we draw motivation and energy from suffering, and only by truly understanding the meaning of suffering can we taste the sweetness that suffering gives it.

However, in many families nowadays, parents are reluctant to let their children suffer, they often cry "baby, baby", and they can't wait to do everything for their children. Under such education, children are lazy, squeamish and willful, and lack a sense of responsibility and gratitude. Think about it from the child's point of view: many things have not been experienced, I don't know that there is an unsatisfactory side of life, many things are always as easy as falling from the sky, and there is no need to spend a little effort, at this time, how can he have the opportunity and ability to bear the various tests that life gives him?
