THE VALUE OF STUDY
An ancient legend teaches that when our ancestors stood at Mount Sinai, Gd said to them, “Before I give you my Torah, you must give me something precious that proves that you are devoted to it.” The Israelites thought long and hard. They offered their jewelry. But Gd did not accept it. Then they thought harder about what was most precious and offered the patriarchs and matriarchs - Abraham and Sarah, Isaac and Rebecca, and Jacob, Rachel and Leah - as proof. But Gd refused that offer too. Finally, the Israelites said, “Our children and all generations of children after them are what is most precious. We will teach them to love and honor Gd’s commandments.” Pleased, Gd responded, “For their sake, I will give you the Torah.” Song of Songs Rabbah |
“WHEN reading my present treatise, bear in mind that by "faith" we do not understand merely that which is uttered with the lips, but also that which is apprehended by the soul, the conviction that the object [of belief] is exactly as it is apprehended. If, as regards real or supposed truths, you content yourself with giving utterance to them in words, without apprehending them or believing in them, especially if you do not seek real truth, you have a very easy task as, in fact, you will find many ignorant people professing articles of faith without connecting any idea with them.”
― Maimonides, The Guide for the Perplexed Confucius: Every truth has four corners: as a teacher I give you one corner, and it is for you to find the other three. |
