Yesterday I had a marvelous day attending the candidates presentations for the Jewish Book tour. It was fascinating to listen to the dynamic presentations on a host of diverse topics that were related to Judaism.It was a three hour period filled with the sharing of humor,new information and insights that had been discovered by these talented artists.It was a great reminder for me that there are those who everyday through their scholarship and dedication allow the rest of us continued opportunities for growth. I am more knowledgeable about a host of subjects than I was before the session. The cradle to grave quest continues to become more fully human through the wisdom of others.
