DESTINED DESCENDANTS

[5b top] R’ Yehoshua ben Levi: Jews in latter generations are more well versed in many areas of Torah.
R’ Rosner quoting RambaM: [Even though other Rabbis talk about the degeneration of our generations] Each of us, in every generation, has ultimate/unlimited potential and we cannot use excuses for why we do not reach amazing heights and lofty spiritual levels.

D-E-ep Thoughts: Often times we put roadblocks in our paths even before we set out on journeys. We must never let past hindrances or suspected stumblings become reasons for why we do not accomplish even greater goals. If Hashem gives us outstanding opportunities and He has faith in us, who are we to doubt our own capabilities?
