The Beginning of Wisdom
As I am preparing to teach Proverbs I try to search for wisdom as much as I can. Wisdom has always fascinated me, not only because I am missing it (:)), but also because I am attracted by sages.
Sometimes wisdom is found in unlikely places. This time I found some with Leon Kass who was born to Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe (maybe Romania?). He wrote a book that caught my attention: The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis.
While I have not read the whole book, what he says in the introduction shows me that he is a wise man. He understands what many intelligent and scientifically minded people have missed.
