I found a clip of Lou Goldstein leading a game of Simon Says and it brought back fond memories of summer days in the Catskills, watching him hold an audience spellbound. He could get any person to follow any instruction he issued, without fail.
Throngs of people lined up to join the game and tried valiantly to be crowned the winner by heeding his words, only if they were prefaced with "Simon Says."
Imagine if Mr. Goldstein would have been chosen to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Probably he would have done a better job than most of the envoys that have endeavored to bring peace to the region.
And, if people would heed the words of the Torah in the same way that they followed the instructions of Lou Goldstein, no doubt Mashiach would have arrived by now.
