The People Who Change the World — Humility Is Not Thinking You Are Nothing

 What does true humility look like? Is it thinking less of yourself? Pretending youraccomplishments don’t matter? In this week’s parashah, the Torah describesMoshe Rabbenu as the most humble person who ever lived—yet he was also the man who confronted Pharaoh, split the sea, brought down the Torah, and spoke with HaShem face to face. How can greatness and humility coexist in the same person?    In this morning’s class, we explore the Torah’s revolutionary definition of humilitythrough the lives of Moshe Rabbenu, Rabbi Akiva, Hillel HaZaken, Rav Yosef, andRabbi Yechezkel Abramsky. Along the way, we’ll discover that humility is notdenying our gifts—it is recognizing their Source. The arrogant person asks,“Who honors me?” The humble person asks, “Who needs me?” A timely and practical lesson on how each of us can use the blessings HaShem has given us to elevate the people around us and change the world.
