To Be a Real Jew

The Yid Hakadosh used to say, "Wonders and miracles are no wonder at all. The true wondrous miracle is to be a Yid, to be a real Jew." He taught that anyone who has reached a certain spiritual level can perform wonders, and that the harder task is to fulfill one's obligations honestly as a Jew. Even a hairsbreadth of good is enough, he said, if it is offered in truth and wholeheartedly.
