Testing Acumen

The difference between a holy mystical leader, called a “lighted lamp,” for his disciples and a religious leader or gaon on is akin to the difference between a headache and a stomachache.
The little boy has a headache and goes to his mother to complain so that he will not have to go to school. His mother feels his head and discovers that he has no fever and so since him to school.


The next time the little boy, if you smart, will claim that he is the stomachache. For this, his mother cannot text him and he will be able to stay home from school. -Rabbi Louis Jacobs

Of course, now in the 21 st century we must ask: are we better or worse for it?
