Another Point About HaRav Miller, zt"l

To The Editor:

I read your article about the hesped of Rabbi Miller, zt"l. You quoted HaRav Boruch Rosenberg, who said that Rabbi Miller influenced people to teshuva by saying the absolute truth that there is a Master of the Universe.

Being at the funeral, HaRav Rosenberg stressed one more point: that a Jew is the only child of Hashem.

This point was stressed all the time by Rabbi Miller, zt"l, in many of his lectures. He used to say that this is one of the foundations of Shabbos, as the posuk says, "Beini uvein Bnei Yisroel, os he le'olom." He said that we are too modest to brag about this, but we have to feel and believe this.

Rabbi Miller would quote the posuk in Devorim (10,15): "Rak ba'avosecho choshak Hashem, le'ahavoh osom, vayivchar bezar'om achareihem, bochem, mikol ho'amim kayom hazeh," and say that one should give this out to their children.

Yours sincerely,

M. Sternberg
