Why Should You Seek Good Neighbors?

When one chooses to live next door to a Talmid Chacham (sage) he thereby comes closer to G-d. "You shall cling to Him." (Dvarim 10:20) means physical proximity. It may be considerably inconvenient to dwell there, but to be close is an achievement that cannot fail to mold your history and the history of your posterity, just as it molds the history of nations. -- Awake, My Glory
