Hashem Remembers What We Forget
Children & shidduchim
When his children asked him to tell about his rescue work during the war, Rav Schorr answered with a saying of the Rizhiner. Hashem is zochair nishkochos, He remembers what is forgotten, and He remembers what we forget. If we forget our sins as though they never happened, Hashem will remember them. If we forget the little good we have done and think instead about how much we still need to perfect ourselves, Hashem will remember our accomplishments. What is remembered below is forgotten Above, and what is forgotten below is remembered Above.
