LONELY LEAVES

[19a top] Mishnah: A Get may be written on an olive leaf.
Meiri: Even though one leaf can not fit all the writing on it, several leaves may be used (and it is still classified as “one” document) because all the leaves’ nourishment is obtained from same source branch.

D-E-ep Thoughts: We have to constantly remind ourselves that we are not individuals with our own senses of power. We are all portions of G-d and nothing happens without Him willing it. We should never become arrogant or too proud of our accomplishments since we are only Hashem’s agents bringing to fulfillment that which He desires to be. We are all ONE and are able to accomplish the most when we realize that we are part of a much greater reality.
