A simple shepherd named Akiva didn’t think he could learn Torah, even through Rochel, his wife, wanted him to try. Then, one day, he noticed a rock with a hole made by the constant flow of small water droplets. For Rabbi Akiva, it was a lesson that changed everything.
“Soft water can cut through hard stone, drop by drop,
And make a big hole, all because it won’t stop.
If I keep on trying and doing my part,
Then surely the Torah will enter my heart.”
