Yossi Elitov Highlights the Unique Light Each Person Brings in Jewish Thought

Yossi Elitov, editor of the 'Mishpacha' newspaper, shared a reflective message in his column on Kikar HaShabbat. Drawing on the teachings of Moses, Elitov explained that the Jewish people are likened to stars in the sky, not because they are the most numerous, but because each star shines in a unique place that no other can illuminate. He emphasized that a star does not compete with the sun but fulfills its mission by shining in the darkness.

Elitov urged readers not to measure their lives against others but to discover the light entrusted to them and illuminate the place where God has positioned them. He concluded that the world does not need more suns but more stars unafraid to shine. This message was part of a broader spiritual reflection shared ahead of Shabbat Chazon, the most significant Shabbat of the year, accompanied by a video featuring Rabbi Elimelech Biderman.
