“I once heard a story about a Jew who became a trappist
monk, but I couldn’t believe it, for although I could imagine a Jew taking a
vow of poverty, and even of chastity, I could not imagine him taking a vow of
silence.” -Chaim Bermant
We are taught by our tradition to ask questions. This is how we learn, not by silent obedience
but by inquiring. To some this is a
foible. To us this is an attribute.
