From Rounders:

- May I tell you a story? – Please.

For generations, men of my family have been rabbis. In Israel, before that in Europe. It was to be my calling. I was quite a prodigy. The pride of my yeshiva. The elders said I had a 40 year-old’s understanding of the midrash by the time I was 12. But by the time I was I knew I could never be a rabbi.

Why not?

Because for all I understood of the Talmud,

I never saw God there.
