In Parshas Vayishlach, Yaakov Avinu shows us exactly how to deal with challenges: wrestle with it, refuse to let it go until it blesses you – until you emerge stronger, better and wiser than before. Remember, we’re called Bnei Yisroel for a reason.
When we look back to see that mountain that we just climbed or that chasm we just leaped across, we see that they were not as large and imposing as we had thought. Our challenges are put there not to get in the way, but so that we can use them to grow – as long as we take that leap.
To say that Artscroll changed the way Torah is studied and the way Tefillah is recited would be a gross understatement. There is likely not a Jewish home to be found that does not contain at least one book with the familiar quill and scroll emblem painted on its side. The amount of Torah that is learned and the amount of mitzvah observance that exists because of Reb Meir, can neither be fathomed nor measured.
