He's right, of course, it IS obvious - but the fact that so many out there don't find it so is what makes it profound.

<p>Mich ... Sadly, as modern history has shown us, a broader range of choices has not been successful in keeping people interested in 'music'. Obviously the music analogy is flawed, because Judaism is an obligation and not a pastime or hobby. Many people revel in obligations when they perceive the purpose behind the tasks... while others simply feel the burden of the yoke. I don't know if that is a personal failing of a failing of the system.</p>
<p>rutimizrachi... Now if we could only get him to do his homework on a regular basis. :-)</p>
<p>Ilana-Davita ... That's why I shared it. :-)</p>
<p>Elisson... We all have our moments.</p>
<p>val... Oddly, you've described the other side of the religious spectrum here in Israel.</p>
<p>Wry Mouth ... The funny thing is that when I repeat this story to friends in Gilad's presence, he fidgets and blushes... and has no idea why I found it so profound.

<p>The intent and want has to be there regardless of where you are and what equipment you have.</p>
<p>Like the old adage, you can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make him drink. So it is that even if you have a piano, you may not ever play.</p>Elisson commented on 'The importance of having access to the piano'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef01157084540d970b2009-05-13T13:40:40Z2009-05-13T13:40:40ZElissonhttp://elisson1.blogspot.comGilad is wise beyond his years... but you probably knew that already.

<p>Most of the stuff I hear day-to-day is not nearly as profound. Downright foolish, it is.

For me, being a Jew in Israel was like a musician playing only one song - the Orthodox tune of which I was getting rapidly bored - and living outside gave me access to a diverse musical library. </p>
