In today’s Talmud page, Kiddushin 24, it is all about noise. The rabbis discuss the harm that one can cause another by shouting into their ear. This harm may not be an injury that they would be liable for in a court of law, but it is one that they are liable for in the court of the heavens. We all live in a world surrounded by the noise of our outside world, noise that is higher than is safe for our ears. During this month of Elul, perhaps it is an appropriate time to find a moment or two to be quiet and take that time for introspection. What can we do to quiet our minds, and appreciate the silence? Listen and find out.
