“I always wondered why in my people’s accounts about sorcerers, some of them employ incantations and rituals while others simply walk across raging rivers or revive the dead or heal the sick merely by their will, by their touch, or by their gaze.

Quote of the Week 419 - Listening/Hearing for Non-material Sustenance
Every one who is thirsty, come and drink. He who has no money, come, buy and eat. Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

Incline your ear, and come to Me. Hear, that your soul will live…
--Isaiah 55:1-3, The Living Torah translation by Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan
