inspirationCourage, strength, and power are part of every child’s dreams: in fantasyland they can all be superheroes, have special powers, and make magic. If we look at adult life, grownups seem to be just as keen to gain power.
One of the sources of strength available to humans is our ability to join forces and take action together for a shared cause. Although, ostensibly, collaboration is complex, and may present some challenges to the group, our rabbis wisely realized that, when people come together, they become stronger, explaining it using a short fable that drives the point home for young and old alike:
“It is the way of the world that if a person takes a bundle of branches, can he break them all at once? Whereas if he takes them one at a time, even a child can break them”
[Midrash Tanhuma, 29A]
