THERE'S A LOVELY HASIDIC STORY OF A RABBI WHO ALWAYS TOLD HIS PEOPLE
THAT IF THEY STUDIED THE TORAH, IT WOULD PUT SCRIPTURE ON THEIR HEARTS.
ONE OF THEM ASKED, "WHY ON OUR HEARTS, AND NOT IN THEM?" THE RABBI
ANSWERED, "ONLY GOD CAN PUT SCRIPTURE INSIDE. BUT READING
SACRED TEXT CAN PUT IT ON YOUR HEARTS, AND THEN WHEN YOUR HEARTS
BREAK, THE HOLY WORDS WILL FALL INSIDE."
