“You shall love Hashem, your G-d, with all
your heart, with all your soul, and with all
your resources”
(Devarim 6:5)
There are two types of hearing. The hearing of the ear is superficial,
whereas the hearkening of the heart is internal. When a person hearkens
with his heart, as we are exhorted in the Shema, he reaches the level of
loving Hashem with all his heart.
Rashi explains that Yitro heard about the war with Amalek and the
Splitting of the Sea. These miracles made such an impression upon
him that he was drawn to join the Jewish nation. Hadn’t the entire
world heard of these wonders? While they merely heard with their ears,
Yitro heard with his heart. He changed his entire lifestyle, joining the
Jewish people.
When a person hears about a miracle, he should let it enter his heart. It
will permeate his entire being and leave a lasting impression upon him. # 26347-EYAL-6BOOKS - 26347-Dvarim-EYAL | 5 - A | 18-08-19 | 13:48:13 | SR:-- | Black 26347-EYAL-6BOOKS - 2
