The language of the prophet is incomprehensible to the people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is interesting to note that this chapter was chosen as the Haftarah for the weekly reading of <em>Parashat Shemot<\/em>, in which Moses mentions that he is: &#8220;\u2026slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.&#8221;(4:,10)\u00a0 and asks God how the people will listen, understand and believe him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes we have difficulty in making ourselves understood.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There may be several reasons for this:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the part of speakers, their ideas may not be presented clearly, or their speech may be full of errors and they do not express themselves properly.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the part of the listeners, hearing and comprehension difficulties can be due to paying partial attention, disability of the auditory organ, or difficulty in language processing and translating the syllables into clear communication signs.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All of these reasons are possible, but it seems wrong to me to concentrate on biological \/ neurological interpretations that focus on the transmission and reception of the message. Better focus on the speaker&#8217;s motivation and the willingness of the recipient.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Who hath made man&#8217;s mouth? or who maketh a man dumb, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? is it not I the LORD?&#8221; God told Moses. From these words we learn that both when receiving or transmitting a message,\u00a0 the true disability is not biological but faith-based and psychological: a speaker, even though he is awkward &#8211; will be able to convey his words, and the recipient, if he truly wants to &#8211; will be able to hear, understand and internalize the transmitted message.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this chapter, the prophet Isaiah reminds me of ourselves, the parents. Speaking in a heartfelt manner to our children, we sometimes feel we are talking awkwardly. They do not recognize our intentions, life experience, worry and prayers for their safety.\u00a0 Sometimes, in our words, they hear a message that is negative, shows our disappointment and dissatisfaction with them, is overly anxious (or even hysterical).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The lesson I learn from this text is to talk simply and honestly. Such a message will allow our children to listen and even understand or accept what we have to say.\u00a0 At the same time, we should not forget to check to what extent we are listening.<\/span><\/p>\n","image":{"ID":66377,"id":66377,"title":"is28-parent","filename":"is28-parent.png","filesize":0,"url":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/is28-parent.png","link":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/isaiah-the-prophet-isaiah-the-parent\/is28-parent\/","alt":"","author":"7","description":"","caption":"","name":"is28-parent","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":66376,"date":"2019-12-01 11:38:32","modified":"2023-09-21 03:53:44","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1221,"height":1280,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/is28-parent-150x150.png","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/is28-parent-286x300.png","medium-width":286,"medium-height":300,"medium_large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/is28-parent-768x805.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":805,"large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/is28-parent-977x1024.png","large-width":977,"large-height":1024,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/is28-parent.png","1536x1536-width":1221,"1536x1536-height":1280,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/is28-parent.png","2048x2048-width":1221,"2048x2048-height":1280,"post_full_size":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/is28-parent-1145x1200.png","post_full_size-width":1145,"post_full_size-height":1200,"home_baner":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/is28-parent-401x420.png","home_baner-width":401,"home_baner-height":420}},"embedded_video":"","video_duration":"","show_fb_comments":true,"credit_media":""},"tile":{"top_caption":"","main_caption":"Isaiah The Prophet, Isaiah The Parent","main_caption_size":"1","sub_caption":"Why don\u2019t the people -
