FADING FURTHER…

[39b bottom] R’ Nachman bar Yitzchak: (Rhetorically) “Would you really think that our generations actually got better as time went on?” He is referring to the Jewish understanding of the degeneration of the generations. As we move throughout history, we get further away from our original source and giant Torah scholars.

D-E-ep Thoughts: Even though we advance through time further with science and technology in the physical world, we are moving further away from our spiritual Mesorah (oral tradition). We must constantly remind ourselves of our purpose in this world and reconnect to our Holy roots with every moment possible.
