Shema Yisrael: The importance of listening and learning in the darkness
To hear – even in the dark. To listen – when we feel silenced. To act – when it would be easier to despair. To love – when hate seems louder. To believe – even now.
‘SHEMA’ MEANS to hear, to listen, to pay attention, to understand, to internalize, to respond, to obey.(photo credit: SHUTTERSTOCK)ByNECHAMA GOLDMAN BARASH
