The Work / Learning With Zeidy
Learning With Zeidy
Ever since the Middle Ages, Jews have sweetened a child’s first time learning the Hebrew alphabet (often at the early age of three) with honey. The Midrash relates that before G-d gave the Torah to the Jewish people, he requested guarantors who would ensure that the people would indeed study Torah and fulfill the mitzvot. The Jewish people offered their own children. They promised that the children would study Torah and safeguard it for generations. And to this G-d agreed. The children are the ideal guarantors. In this poetic piece Glauber depicts Zeidy's aging hands teaching the next generation to fulfill this holy tradition.
