Meditation

No one is as blind as the man who will not see! By extension, no one is as deaf as he who will not hear. Have you ever met a person who puts his hands over his ears and tells you, “Don’t convince me with the facts, my mind is made up!” Our generation is not all that keen to teach Torah to the [next generation]. Yet Moshe commanded Yisra’el to impart Torah as an everlasting heritage across generations.
