This week Parshah is Ve’eschanan. Included in the Parshah is Moshes Reminder of the Ten Commandments which he tells us was given with “a powerful voice with no end”. Rashi explains that this means there was no echo. This gives us two questions. Why would a powerful voice not have an echo and how could this affect our everyday lives?
An Echo is caused when a sound wave bounces off an object it can’t penetrate. When G-d spoke there was no echo because there is nothing that the voice and the word of G-d can’t reach. No mountain no valley and no heart can resist the word of Hashem so no echo is possible.
The lesson for us is clear when we have a chance to hear the Word of G-d or to speak the His word we must do so. No matter the situation if we think it might not have any affect we must remember G-ds voice has no Echo. There is nothing and no one that can withstand his Torah.
So if you see a chance to help a friend or to teach a fellow person always do so. Firstly you have a requirement to continue the voice of Hashem that has entered you. And secondly if said with love there is no way your fellow will not accept it and gain from it. May we all accept the light and word of Hashem and may we soon see the day when the Voice of G-d is once again heard with the coming of Moshiach. Amen
