The Value of Stories

The Value of Stories

Nothing refreshes the soul,

purifies the heart,

sharpens the mind

and brings a man closer to his Father in Heaven

than a good story.

Go and learn…

In the Torah, the Holy One Blessed is His Name,

first told the story of Creation.

Only then did He give the commandments.
