Rabbi Jack Reimer the
story of a child looking up to her father, pointing to the heavens and asking,
“Daddy what is up? Beyond the sky?”
“Ether, my child.”
At this the little one
crinkled her nose and turned her attention to other things.
The task of an educator (and who is not an educator to a
child?) is to enlarge her horizons, not to limit inquisitiveness or crush curiosity.
And perhaps the greatest challenge of all is not to forget that we are still children, deep down.
