There You Have It

Some may remember from earlier in the semester that I am in a certain class (for a definition of the word class, see Lee I. Levine's The Rabbinic Class of Roman Palestine in Late Antiquity p.14) that forces me to do a lot of scholarly reading, which I really do not like. What I have found interesting, however, is that scholars themselves recognize that many people do not really get along with them. Here is an excerpt from page 120 of Lee I. Levine's The Rabbinic Class of Roman Palestine in Late Antiquity (sounds boring, right?)

"Intellectual achievement might often lead to the disparagement of others not endowed with the same motivation, capabilities or accomplishments."

I am sure that many of us have felt this way in some of the classes that we have sat in in college.

Tonight

Tonight, Tuesday night, Rav Ozer Bergman will be giving a class on the Upper West Side at 8:15 P.M. I believe that I will God willing be in attendence, as will my roomate Aryeh Graber. I do not really know any details. Call me as it gets closer if you want to know more.

For more Rav Bergman, you can look at this

PARTY!!

You See

"Add to this the universal human tendency to resent intellectuals."

We see here a scholar himself admitting that there are many who are not into this whole thing.

High Blood Pulse

I went yesterday to donate blood, and for the second time in the past two months I was unable to give due to my high pulse. Oy vey, I have got to figure out what the deal is going to be with that.
