Dr. Ron Wolfson writes in the Times of Israel: The forthcoming Broadway revival of the classic rock opera Tommy by The Who, composed by Pete Townshend, has sparked intrigue about how it will resonate with younger audiences. This article draws a compelling connection between the revival and the theme of "seeing" and being seen. It explores how a new book by David Brooks, "How to Know a Person," delves into the art of truly seeing and understanding others, aligning this concept with a Torah passage about Abraham's welcoming of three strangers. It underscores the profound importance of "seeing" and welcoming others with genuine attention and care, making it a central aspect of our human interactions and relationships.
