R. Yehoshua was one of the leading Polish scholars of his day, and was held in great reverence by his contemporaries. He led a Talmudic academy in Cracow which attracted many noteworthy disciples (such as R. Shabtai HaKohen, the Shach).
R. Yehoshua authored Maginei Shlomo, devoted to answering the difficulties raised by the Tosafist scholars against Rashi in his Talmud commentary. He also authored a collection of halachic responsa titled Pnei Yehoshua (not to be confused with the Talmudic commentary of the same name authored by his great-grandson, R. Yaakov Yehoshua [see entry for 14 Shevat]).
Life is fire. It can burn with the angst of survival in a hostile world. Or it can be harnessed to consume all fear.
Stop, contemplate, meditate and pray. Fan a fire of love and awe for the One that transcends this world.
One fire swallows another and you are set free. Liberated from your fears, you face the world no longer as its slave, but as its master.
