Music To My Ears...!

For out of Zion will go forth the Torah, and the word of God from Jerusalem. (Micha 4:2)
I always find it exhilarating when I hear a hailing from the Holy Land. My good friend Rabbi Ally Ehrman has come to the States for a simcha (a joyous occasion), and hearing his voice on the phone evokes wonderful images and reminiscences of the beautiful city of Jerusalem.

It's easy to underrate the power of the voice, and the ability of an encouraging word, but when we offer a kind word to a friend (or even a stranger), we can literally move mountains, and lift up spirits!

R' Y. Shiener says; Every Jew is a begger- desperate to hear a good word.
