"None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free."

Goethe

עַבְדֵי זְמָן עַבְדֵי עֲבָדִים הֵם –

עֶבֶד אֲדֹנָי הוּא לְבַד חָפְשִׁי:

עַל כֵּן בְבַקֵּשׁ כָּל-אֱנוֹשׁ חֶלְקוֹ

"חֶלְקִי אֲדֹנָי!" אָמְרָה נַפְשִׁי.

 

Servants of time are servants of servants
A servant of Hashem, he alone is free
Therefore when every person asks for his portion
"My portion is Hashem", says my soul.

Rabbi Yehuda Halevi
