Finding The Well

“The desert is beautiful,” the little prince added.

And that was true. I have always loved the desert. One sits down on a desert sand dune, sees nothing, hears nothing. Yet through the silence something throbs, and gleams…

“What makes the desert beautiful,” said the little prince, “is that somewhere it hides a well…”--

The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint Exup`ery (pp. 92-93)

The Torah was given in a desert and is learned in a Beis Medrash - literally a house of searching. The beauty of Torah is revealed when revealing Her hidden depths.

Love and blessings!!!:)
