When Does Night End?
The story is told of a rabbi in ancient times who gathered his students
together very early one morning, while it was still dark. He put this question
to them: "How can you tell when night has ended and the day has
begun?"
One student made a suggestion: "Could it be when you can see an animal and
you can tell whether it is a sheep or a goat?"
"No, that's not it," answered the rabbi.
Another student said: "Could it be when you look at a tree in the distance
and you can tell whether it is a fig tree or a peach tree?"
Again the rabbi answered: "No."
After a few more guesses the students said: "Well, how do you tell when
night has ended?"
The rabbi answered: "It is when you look on the face of any man or woman
and you see them as your brother or sister. If you cannot do this, then, no
matter what time it is, it is still night."
