King David is called
by his followers "Ner Yisrael" - the lamp of Israel -
and so also is Rabbi Yochanan ben Zakai. When his students came to visit,
they greeted him: "The lamp of Israel, the right hand pillar, the
powerful hammer!"

A
little truth overcomes much falsehood, as a little light dispels
much darkness.
