From The Bimah: Jewish Lessons For Life

Namely:  How should we think about the aspiration to be the greatest, the best?  Is thinking this way, is dreaming this way, is acting this way, I want to be the best, healthy?  What happens to our heart when we are focused on becoming the goat? I remember as a teen being drawn to the climactic line in the poem Ulysses by Alfred, Lord Tennyson.  “To strive to seek to find and not to yield.”  Is this a good thing?  How does the goat beat the ram?  With a lot of help from our friends. That is true for Tom Brady.  That is true for all of us.
