I didn’t plan my rampage through the enemy’s camp; it was driven by the cholent!” The Rambam rules1 that in a time and place where non-Jews may murder Jews, a Jew must avoid traveling with non-Jews: “If a gentile asks a Jew where he is going, he should give him a misleading answer, as Yaakov gave a misleading answer to Eisav, as it is written: ‘Until I come to my master, in Seir.’” The gentile will assume that he still has plenty of time to attack when, in reality, the Jew will leave his company before he has a chance to pounce on him.

Like the Cossack hero, we are powered by a force stronger than ourselves, and when we run with it we can make Moshiach, a reality. As the Kotzker Rebbe said: I want people to refrain from sin not because it’s forbidden but because they simply have no time. After filling my bags, I noticed a delicious hot stew and poured it into my pouch, which I then loaded onto my trusty horse.
