    Nach strenger Überzeugung ist das Schicksal die schlimmste Art der Sklaverei. Auf der anderen Seite tröstet der Gedanke, dass Gott durch unsere Gebete bewegt wird.

    שטרענג גלויבן, גורל איז די ערגסט טיפּ פון שקלאַפֿערייַ; אויף די אנדערע האַנט עס איז טרייסט אין דער געדאַנק אַז גאָט וועט זיין אריבערגעפארן דורך אונדזער תפילות.
