Diary Entry From My Journey #17

The Road Less Traveled

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -
I took the one less traveled by,
and that has made all the difference

Robert Frost


I once heard someone say that there are two ways in which one can try to make a difference in the Torah world. One is to join an already existing framework and work from within. Another is to branch out on ones own and try to start something completely new.

The latter way is FAR more likely to effect a change. It is also much more risky and challenging.

I feel limitless gratitude to Hashem that despite the difficulties that inhere, He has given me the courage to trod - on "The Road Less Traveled." I hope and pray that this will "make all the difference."
