Un gentile, cioè un non ebreo, domanda a un ebreo: "Perché voi ebrei rispondete sempre a una domanda con una domanda?" E l'ebreo: "E perché no?" Perché questa storiella per me è estremamente importante? Perché muove una questione centrale nell'ebraismo: la domanda. La domanda è una delle basi che sostengono la cultura e il pensiero ebraici. Essere umano è colui che sa porre domande, non chi dà risposte.
