A Simple Jew, yes, we need to find that balance between capturing an image and contemplating its meaning.

Lion of Zion, I wonder what they discussed when they studied the text in 1858?

“This is one well-discussed text.”

The comment on photography really resonated with me as well!

Frumhouse and Ilana-Davita, I will probably get both the Relevance book and the children’s book when I return from vacation.

I would have chosen Relevance too; for the same reasons. The “look inside book” seemed promising. In fact I tried to order it from Amazon but it is 100$ on the French site and unavailable on the other sites. I reckon I’ll order from Feldheim directly.

The Children’s Pirkei Avos sounds more my speed – forget about the children! I might look into that version.
