The Hole in the Rock

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.”
