  Heard today from Rabbi YY Jacobson:

                           

  The objective of life is to stop speaking and start singing

  The more silence, the more communication

  The word that comes from silence is the most powerful

  Moses couldn’t speak  because he was always in a state of awe 

            The person who couldn’t speak [ Moses]  authored the book of the Torah 

  called “words”-   Devarim

  A true pause is the silence that allows for real absorption

           Shabbos is the pause of the week

  Active silence is when no one speaks and everyone listens

  The closer to the source, the more silence

  The term “Jew” means a person who can:

                                                      Dance uninhibitedly while sitting in one place

                                                      Scream while silent

                                                      Be alone even among a thousand people

  In 1913 or so when he was a professor,when my Omi was 13 and her father was minister of finance for Germany, Albert and his first wife were regular Friday night guests at the table.He also supported himself by tutoring my Omi in math. Omi said Albert had a great sense of humor.,was extraordinarily frugal and hated fashion with a passion.

  Yes.My grandmother's father was the minister of finance from Germany , and ambassador to Russia under Kaiser Wilhelm II,and the inventor of the safety device for dynamite.When Albert was a professor,he tutored my grandmother in math,(approx.1912-1913)and was a weekly Friday night guest at their home Schloss Schwante in the 9th district.of Berlin    http://de.wikipedia.org/wik... which is now a hospital.,I believe. My German is terrible){I don't know to what extent Friday night included any Shabbat rituals,if any.
  
  Apparently the person who wrote the text in the Wikipedia chose to ignore his ownership for whatever reason,but I have volumes of pictures .and it is verfied here in the      http://www.ifz-muenchen.de/... His name was Paul Litwin,and wrote the treaty of 1918,temporarily ending the war between Russia and Germany .
  
  The two main qualities she conveyed to me was Professor Einstein's sense of humor,and his frugality to the extreme.He would not give his wife Mileva money to buy a new hat after ten years,unless it had holes and didn't keep her head warm! He hated fashion dictates.,including wearing sox. But,like the Rebbe,is known for his remarkable sense of humor.
  
  Hope this helps enlighten you as to his remarkable personality .

    Einstein was the tutor of your grandmother? Can you share with us more about that?
