Dr Seuss makes his maiden appearance in these podcasts. Here, we examine what the difference is between real kingship and a rule which is there only to serve the self. Surprisingly, the real king is actually a servant. Or perhaps, not surprisingly, once we have realised that without his people to declare him as king, he is, in fact, nothing.


And when this is paired with the day's trait - humility - we begin to see the beauty in the words of the Kotzker Rebbe concerning true broken hearts.  Then we can take the message to heart.
