Here we put the teaching on our hearts so that when they break, the teachings will fall in.

I once heard a beautiful teaching story: A rabbi told his students that here in this school they would lay the teachings on their hearts. One child raised her hand and asked, “But Rabbi, why don’t you put the teachings in our hearts?” “Oh, no,” the Rabbi answered, “only God can do that. Here we put the teaching on our hearts so that when they break, the teachings will fall in.”
