Examples of sefer in a Sentence
Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Kotzk:
I saw in a sefer, along time ago, that a student once travelled to learn by the KOTZKER. The Kotzker asked him why he came? He said, to find G-d. He responded, that's a pity! He's everywhere! The student thought a bit. Then asked why should I have come? He responded and said, To Find Yourself! This has to be anonymous because I tried to find where I saw it, and I did not find it!
