I just read this. Please consider it my contribution to the current debate over illegal immigrants.
A rabbi put this question to his students:
"How can we determine the hour of dawn, when the night ends and the day begins?"
One student suggested, "When from a distance you can distinguish between a dog and a sheep."
"When you can distinguish between a fig tree and a grapevine," offered another.
"No," the rabbi said. "When you look into the face of a human being and have enough light to recognize that person as your brother or sister. Up until then it is night, and darkness is still with you."
