Birdsong

Greetings Rabbi Lazer,

As I sat down this afternoon to listen to the Emuna CD I received in the mail today entitled Help!, my mother mistook your voice for the sound of birdsong.  She actually thought I was listening to an audio recording of birds in nature!  It then occurred to me, it must be that when a Jew prays or encourages others to pray for the benefit of The Jewish people as a whole, his or her prayers become as beautiful to HaShem as the sounds of birds singing on a spring afternoon.  I guess that applies to any time someone speaks to HaShem, but perhaps especially when the prayers are selfless in nature, for the benefit of others, thus helping to hasten The Geula.

Thank you for your beautiful birdsong-like voice and for helping to draw others to HaShem, so their unique melodies can be heard by their Creator. Yours always, Dennis, USA

That is really an incredible letter, I am deeply, deeply moved. There is a palpable sense of real truth here. Just beautiful.
