Kol Torah - The Sweet Sound of Torah

A nyone who has spent time in a yeshiva is aware that the

learning environment is intense, animated and noisy. R'

Naftali Tzvi Yehudah Berlin (1817-1893), better known as the

Netziv (the acronym of his name), Rosh Yeshiva of the Yeshiva of

Volozhin in Lithuania, used to live downstairs from the beis

medrash of Volozhin. Above his meagre home, the bochurim

would learn late into the night . The kol Torah ( the noise of peo-

ple engaged in learning ) was, needless to say, quite loud. Some-

one once asked the Netsiv how he managed to sleep with all the

noise, and he replied with the following moshol: A stranger who

passes by a mill hears the grinding of the gears, wheels and mill

stones. The noise is deafening. He wonders how the miller can

bear to live next to it and manage to sleep - yet the miller sleeps

very well. Indeed, the noise of the mill is for him the sweetest

noise. In fact were the mill to suddenly stop he would be startled

and wake up. The reason is that the sound of the mill is the sound

of the miller's livelihood. As long as it runs he knows that he has

food to eat. The Netsiv continued:

- Torah is my livelihood. It is the sustenance for my life. For this

reason the sound of Torah is the sweetest of sounds to my ears.

May HaShem make the sound of Torah sweet in our ears this Sha-

vuos.

Good Shabbos, Rabbi Cohen
