Description

Silence accompanied by focused listening potentiates a dual possibility, with beneficial consequences for oneself and others. First, one can enhance one's own knowledge and wisdom by listening and absorbing from others. Second, understanding between people is greatly improved. Shlomo's own commitment to the concept of a Lev Shomea, a discerning heart, is discussed in the context of Sefer Melachim, based on an insight made by Mori V'Rabbi Rabbi Yitzchak Twersky, author of Amitah shel Torah.
