I always admired the bravery of that fly.  I named him Freddie.  Freddie the fly.

I don't have one inspiration, I don't really believe in having a single main source of inspiration.  I get inspired from everyday people who I meet and read about, true everyday heroes.  Such as the American Jewish farmer who lived his entire life in a very meager state and then donated 15 million dollars close to his death to help build up agriculture in the Negev.  I get different inspirations from different types of people and then combine them together which gives me an idea of the type of person I should strive to be.

My father and grandmother were always big inspirations to me though.   
"The Jews will eventually have to face up to what you're dealing with here.  The arabs will never love you for what good you've brought them.  They don't know how to really love.  But hate!  Oh, G-d, can they hate!  And they have a deep, deep, deep resentment because you have jolted them from their delusions of grandeur and shown them for what they are-a decadent, savage people controlled by a religion that has stripped them of all human ambition . . . except for the few cruel enough and arrogant enough to command them as one commands a mob of sheep.  You are dealing with a mad society and you'd better learn how to control it."

Hey The Shadow, I wasn't responding to your post, I actually didn't read it before I posted. 

So, are you really the type of guy who "wouldn't hurt a fly"?   ;D

Zeev,

I might hurt a big, green horse fly, like the kind that land on you and bite you hard at the pool or on the beach.  But not my pride and joy house fly.

"Freddies Dead" now or is he a "Superfly"
In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a scarce man. Brave, hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds however, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot.

Pretty soon you'll be on a street in Yerushalayim, handing out those tiny old siddurim that nobody can read...  ;)

Eitan- do you read Likutei Moharan?  (I have 4 volumes for now). (Im somewhat similar like you, but I also include lectures, and things from the Sefardim).
The Academy of Elijah taught, whoever studies the laws (of the Torah) every day, (he) is guaranteed to have a share in the World to Come.

‏119:139 צִמְּתַתְנִי קִנְאָתִי כִּישָׁכְחוּ דְבָרֶיךָ צָרָי
My zeal incenses me, for my adversaries have forgotten Your words.
‏119:141 צָעִיר אָנֹכִי וְנִבְזֶה פִּקֻּדֶיךָ, לֹא שָׁכָחְתִּי.
 I am young and despised; I have not forgotten Your precepts.

" A fool does not realize, and an unwise person does not understand this (i.e. the following:) When the wicked bloom like grass, and the evildoers blossom (i.e. when they seem extremly successful), it is to destroy them forever (i.e. they are rewarded for their few good deeds in this World, and they will have no portion in the World to Come!)
