Today the 22nd of Shevat marks the Yahrtzeit of Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Kotzk 1787-1859, the great Chassidic Polish leader known as the Kotzker Rebbe.
He was completely uncompromising in the quest for faith, honesty and truth. He taught his followers that they must renew their quest for self-knowledge and truth on a daily basis. He is known for his sharp wit and catchy phrases, for example: "Where is God? G-D is where you let Him in."
"All that is thought should not be said, all that is said should not be written, all that is written should not be published, all that is published should not be read."
"If I am I and you are you, then I am I and you are you;
but if I am you and you are I, then I am not I and you are not you. "
The Kotzker Rebbe is considered to be the spiritual founder upon which the Ger Dynasty is based.
Kosher Corner
Many people are aware of the problem in consuming non-kosher vitamins. The first and foremost problem is the gelatin capsules. Although some leading Halachic Rabbis do permit it's consumption, the majority of Halachic leaders have accepted that one should rather not consume the Gelatin capsules. The reason for some to say that it's permissible, is do to the fact that it was changed during it's process into a powder form, thus canceling the prohibition. Many kosher vitamins are available today and there is no need to consume the gelatin capsules. Kosher Maxi Health Vitamins has manufactured special capsules in which there is no question in regarding it's consumption. It is produced with kosher enzymes.
