每个犹太人在小的时候,他们的母亲都会给孩子讲这样一个故事:有一艘大船出海远行,船上的乘客中除了一位拉比外,全是大亨。大亨们闲来无聊,就互相炫耀自己的财富。正在他们争得面红耳赤时,拉比插话了:“我是你们这群人中最富有的,不信你们走着瞧。”船行途中,遇到大风,只好靠岸,一靠岸却遇到了海盗,大亨们的财产被抢劫一空。拉比的智慧和学识很快就受到岸边居民的赏识,他陆续在当地开班授课。 Every Jew in his childhood, their mother would tell the children a story like this: a large ship sailing to the sea, except one of the passengers on board the Rabbi, all tycoons. The tycoons are bored and show off their wealth. Rabbi interrupted as they were fighting hard: “I am the richest of these people, and I do not believe you are on the sidelines.” On the way to the boat, there was a strong wind that hit the beach, Pirates, tycoons were robbed of the property. Rabbi’s wisdom and knowledge were soon appreciated by the residents on the shores, and he started teaching classes locally.
