Think of it this way, if you will:
Judaism is a vocation, in the clas-
sic meaning of that word — that
is, a religious calling. (God calls;
we answer, hineini — here I am.)
And that suggests the rich tra-
dition that has come down to us
can usefully be viewed as a sys-
tem of vocational education.
What brilliant pedagogy, for ex-
ample, to assemble the extend-
ed family, along with friends,
around the table for a festive
meal and there to pronounce the
words, "Let all who are hungry
enter and eat," -or "In each gen-
eration, every person must see

Not merely imagine what it
was like, not merely empathize
with those who made the Exo-
dus, but look into the mirror and
see ourselves as slaves-made-
free. At first, with the youngest
children, the words are empty.
But each year, as they are re-
peated, their meaning comes
closer, until at last one under-
stands: This history we read is
our biography, and it is also our
instruction. That is not to say
that all Jews graduate with hon-
ors from our system of vocation-
al education. Some flunk out,
some get barely passing grades.
But very many graduate, and
enough of us have over the cen-
turies graduated with honors to
change the history of virtually
every country in which we have
lived.
Like any educational system,
ours needs to be tuned from time
to time — new courses and meth-
ods added, the obsolete, with cau-
tion, dropped. But the system
works.
Isn't that sufficient? 0
