This is especially problematic because Hashem told us that we will always be one of the smallest peoples in the world (Deuteronomy 7:7).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rav Meir Shapiro of Lublin offered an insightful way to understand this passage. Obviously, no one is able to count all the stars in the heavens. But when Hashem told Abraham to count them, he did. At least he sought to. The fact that it was an impossible enterprise didn\u2019t faze him. And G-d then said: So shall your descendants be!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><p>This will be the legacy of the Jewish people. When things seem impossible, they will carry on and not give up. It is this indomitable spirit that has played a huge part in the miraculous survival of the Jewish people through thousands of years of overwhelming challenges and obstacles.<\/p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Door Rabbijn Michael Skobac<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a9 Copyright, alle rechten voorbehouden.
