The Moment of Dawn.

A Rabbi gathered together his students and asked them:
'How do we know the exact moment when night ends and day begins?'
'When it's light enough to tell a sheep from a dog',said one boy.
Another student said:'No,when it's light enough to tell an olive tree from a fig tree'.
'No, that' s not a good definition either'.
'Well , what's the right answer?' asked the boys.
And the Rabbi said:
'When a stranger approaches, and we think he is our brother, and all conflicts disappear, that is the moment when night ends and day begins.'
