You’ve heard the saying “This too shall pass”, but do you know its origin? Apparently it comes from the Jewish Midrash, a collection of teachings on Scripture. Here it one version of the story, taken from a sermon. It begins like this:
This story, recorded in the Talmud, speaks, of a ring, a king, and curses and blessings.
King Solomon was wise and powerful with riches beyond compare, and yet, he was not content. One day he told his wise men, “I am too often depressed by life. If things go my way, I do not trust that they will last. If they do not, I fear my woes will never end. I have dreamed that there is a ring that contains the knowledge that will bring me peace of mind. Please go and find this ring. I wish to have it by Succoth, six months from now.”
