Welcome back to another episode of our exploration of Pirkei Avot.
This week, let’s reflect on a teaching from Rabbi Shimon in Chapter 4. He says “all my days I have grown up amongst the wise and I have found nothing better for a person than silence”.
We might think “Silence? Why silence? Why is that a good thing?” There’s a time for speaking up, a time for action and a time for raising our voices. But, Rabbi Shimon is teaching us something fundamental about our own development - to grow, sometimes we just need quiet. Quiet to think, quiet to listen and most importantly, quiet to hear our inner voice amidst all the noise. Think about it.
