The Dawning of the Day

Description:

“Ezra, what would you call the story told by my violin?” Ezra was silent... When he got up to leave, a phrase from one of the dawn hymns occurred to him and stood in front of him, pleading. He said to Rahamim, “I would call it, The Dawning of the Day.”

Host Marcela Sulak reads from Haim Sabato's story, The Dawning of the Day, in honor of Shavuot - the Jewish festival that celebrates the giving of the Torah by God to the Israelites on Mt. Sinai. We hear about two friends who end up avidly studying the Torah together: Rahamim, a gifted, blind violinist, and his friend Ezra who comes to clean his house and tell him stories.
