[Avodah] CAT AND MOUSE

[Cantor Wolberg]

> Rabbi Chaim Brisker pointed out that there are two types of zealots  
> - one praiseworthy and one not.
> They can be compared to a housewife and a cat. The housewife and the  
> cat both want to rid the
> house of mice. There is only one difference: the housewife hopes  
> there will never be another mouse to
> eliminate; the cat is hopeful that there will be many more mice.  We  
> must emulate the housewife so that 																	              WE  
> don’t turn into cats (or mice).
