During one of these meetings, Reb Chaim sensed a weakness in some of the other Rabbanim and suddenly stood up and announced: “I am Reb Chaim Brisker whose name is famous in yeshivos worldwide and I hereby declare that what the haskalah is proposing is against the Torah!” What was unique about this behavior was that Reb Chaim was usually a lev nishbar, a broken heart, humble to the core. 112 Highlighting one of the many messages from this episode, the Rebbe once said 2 that while a rav and mashpia must have the trait of bashfulness and humility to say, “I don’t know,” they must also have the strength to say what they do know and not be bashful in voicing the truth.

A simple act such as washing netilas yadayim was done with the same humility and awe of Hashem as a tzadik davening minchah on Yom Kippur. With the strong foundation of our thin, humble matzah may we all embolden our true selves to be shameless, even proud, servants of Hashem. When a Yid lives by Hashem’s ways, he has the ability to stand up for what’s right with the strength of Hashem Himself. As strong self can be broken by yet a stronger self but a selfless self cannot be broken by anything. Human logic understands boldness and assertiveness to be an expression of a strong sense of self.
