Once Bertram Russell told me what a wonderful man Gandhi was
and said, “One thing about Gandhi drove me crazy. He came to England and brought a goat with
him and drank goat milk."
My reply to him was, “I ‘m glad we had this
conversation. Now I can say what I am
thinking. I understand you very well
because I’ve read all your works and, curiously enough, I understand Gandhi
too. I understand the difference between
goat’s milk and cow’s milk because I drink both. You need a fellow like me to interpret Gandhi
to you and you to Gandhi.” -Rabbi Louis
Finklestein
