in ancient times in the magical land of
Israel king schomo lived in Jerusalem a
city of wisdom and Beauty his name
spread far and wide due to his great
wisdom and just
decisions the king's Palace was a
magnificent Place bright marble walls
shining golden doors and green Gardens
that surrounded it like a blanket of
fragrant flower
people from all over the land and the
world came to him to seek
Justice one morning as the sun sent its
golden Rays to illuminate the grand
courtroom King schlomo sat on his throne
ready to judge between the
people suddenly loud cries echoed from
the long Corridor leading to the hall
the palace guards stood alert they
opened the large doors and two upset
women entered their eyes filled with
tears and their faces flushed with anger
one held a small baby wrapped in soft
cloth while the other tried to pull him
from her arms stop fighting shouted one
of the guards but the women continued
arguing words flying like arrows through
the air the king cried the first woman
her voice trembling this is my my son
she stole him from me that's not true
answered the second woman angrily her
son is dead and this is my living
son King schlomo looked at both women
with his bright Wise Eyes as if
considering their words he motioned
silently with his hand and the room grew
quiet as if a spell had been cast over
everyone even the birds singing in the
Stone windows
stopped tell me what happened said the
king in a deep calm voice that seemed to
have the power to solve any problem in
the
world the women began to
speak they both lived in the same house
and both gave birth to a son on the same
happy
day but the joy turned to
tragedy one of them had fallen asleep
with her baby during the night and by
morning she discovered that he was no
longer
alive in her grief she switched her son
with her friend's baby when the second
woman woke up she immediately noticed
that the baby beside her was not
hers the argument grew louder their
voices filling the
room this is my living son shouted the
first woman that's not true answered the
second your son is dead and this is
mine king schlomo looked at them with
penetrating eyes and listened patiently
to every word weighing their statements
and trying to find the
truth he leaned back in his throne his
eyes moving between the two women
studying their expressions and their
voices his face was calm but inside he
was deep in thought
what should he do how could he discover
the
truth then suddenly an idea sparkled in
his mind like the first light of dawn it
was an idea that came from God one that
would test the mother's hearts and
reveal who was telling the
truth King schlomo looked at the two
women calmly then spoke to them in a
warm and wise
voice when God created mankind
he knew that there would be times like
this times when it would be hard to know
the truth and difficult
arguments that's why he created our
bodies with paired organs two eyes two
ears two hands and two feet so that we
could divide the body equally for every
mother but he gave us only one heart a
heart that feels truth and
love the women looked at him confused
trying to understand his
meaning King schlomo stood up slightly
from his throne his eyes shining and
declared bring me a
sword the entire hall went silent even
the guards at the edge of the room
stopped breathing for a moment the large
sword was brought before the king
gleaming in the
daylight let us cut the baby in half
said the king in a steady voice
each of you will get half that way there
will be
Justice the first woman smiled a wicked
smile and nodded her head good idea your
majesty she said if I can't have the
child neither will
she but the second woman fell to her
knees as if she had heard the Thunder of
the
heavens large tears flowed from her eyes
like an Unstoppable River no my Lord she
cried with a broken voice do not harm
him give her the child I will give him
up just do not harm
him King schlomo looked at the Weeping
Woman and smiled a small compassionate
smile he placed the heavy sword aside
and gently pointed at her you are the
True Mother he declared in a warm
heartfelt voice only a true mother would
rather give give up her child than see
him
harmed the hall erupted with Applause
and amazement the True Mother burst into
tears but this time they were tears of
joy she hugged her little son tightly
her tears wetting his cheek as he looked
up at her with small curious
eyes the false mother stood embarrassed
her eyes lowered to The Shining marble
floor
she knew she could no longer argue and
King schlomo ordered her to be taken out
of the
hall before the True Mother left with
her son King schlomo turned to her and
spoke in a gentle yet authoritative
voice always
remember true love is shown through
actions not
words the heart that Hashem gave us is
meant to guide us on the path of Truth
use it to give your son the love and
compassion he
needs the happy mother looked at the
king with eyes full of gratitude and
said I will never forget your words your
majesty thanks to your wisdom I have
received back the most precious thing in
my life the hall was filled with joy and
all those present cheered for the wise
king and the brave mother
she left the palace with her son in her
arms the sun shining on her face in
Golden Light and the fresh air was
filled with the scent of new
beginnings that day everyone in the hall
learned an important lesson the heart
has the power to reveal the truth true
love is love of compassion sacrifice and
genuine care for others the heart is a
gift from Hashem and we must use it
wisely and honestly at all times
