Many classical Jewish sources emphasize the value of listening to others. In this clip, Smooch the Orangutan gets a crash course in the power of listening!

I recommend this clip as an intro for a unit on the importance of listening to what others have to say before we respond. Listening as a key to learning and clear communication and understanding.
