Professor Wiesel tells a story. “A student once asked the famed rebbe of Kotzk, ‘Why did it take God six days to create the world? Look at it—it’s filled with corruption, cruelty, inhumanity!’ “The master replied, ‘Can you do better?’ “The disciple said, ‘I think—yes! Yes, I can!’ “The master said, ‘So what are you waiting for? Get started! Go to work—immediately!’
