Gershon Wolf Poet Tristich

A Precarious Balance

A tripod of God's Word, Divine Service, Acts of Kindness do we rest on

God's Word's forsaken by most; the language of the Service, foreign

~ Acts of Kindness keep the World from Chaos and Warring


                                    ---See Talmud, Ethics of the Fathers 1:2
