Shalom aleichem, dear listeners! Thank you for joining us for another enlightening journey through Torah wisdom. Our text for today comes from Pirkei Avot, the Ethics of our Fathers, a tractate of the Mishnah. Therein, it is written, "Who is wise? He who learns from every person."
This piece of wisdom is as much relevant today as it was thousands of years ago when it was first inscribed. In our modern world, where so much information is at our fingertips, we often think wisdom comes from knowing more. But our sages tell us something different. Wisdom, they say, comes not from knowing, but from learning.
And who do we learn from? Every person. Yes, every person we encounter, whether a renowned scholar or a simple street sweeper, has something to teach us. A wise person understands that everyone has a unique perspective, a unique set of experiences, and a unique piece of wisdom to share.
Let us all strive to be that wise person. Let us open our hearts and minds to the wisdom that surrounds us every day in every person we meet. Let's be humble enough to know that we don't have all the answers and wise enough to learn from those around us.
So, as we go about our day, let's remember this fundamental teaching from Pirkei Avot. Let's look for the wisdom in each interaction we have, seeking to learn something new from everyone we meet.
I wish you all a day full of learning and wisdom.
