It’s a complicated world

Don Isaac AbrabanelThe world is a complicated place, particularly if you’re a politically active Israeli who’s a little too clever for his own good. We’ll try to get to the bottom of things without flinching from their complexity. The world is big, sometimes arbitrary, always deserving a second look.

We Jews cherish knowledge immensely. In our homes and in our prayer houses, learning is a lifelong pursuit. Learning is our lifelong passion; it is at the core of our being; it is the reason, according to our sages, for which we were created.” – Don Isaac Abrabanel, statesman, rabbi, philosopher, complicated man in a complicated world
