That is true...

Where there is no water in the well, there are snakes and scorpions instead. Where there is no Torah in the life of a human, there are bad and disgusting things. Like you I wish, that the blessing waters of Torah will us always as well as everybody else in Israel and outside. Thank you for telling/reminding us.
