My youngest, Ben, now dons the garb of a Chasidic Jew when he celebrates Sabbath, holy days and sacred occasions — black frockcoat, broad-brimmed hat, ritual fringes, woven prayer-sash, and the rest. He has come to identify with an Orthodox sect, Chabad, with which I, too, was once closely associated.
Chabad recently gained a modicum of controversy, having posthumously declared their Rebbe (“Grand Rabbi”) the Messiah. The disagreements between us have never been rancorous. Ben knows my watchword: “Son, as long as you are first and foremost, in every dimension of your life, a 'mensch' (a decent, God-loving, honorable human being), everything else is just parsley around the plate.” So far, he is faithful to my watchword.

When Kaiser Wilhelm sought to invade Belgium, he was reminded of the signed treaty agreements to which his action would be in blatant contradiction. Dourly brushing the matter aside the Kaiser declared: “We shall take Belgium! As for the inconsistencies, let not your heart be troubled; the philosophers can be well trusted to supply the necessary explanations.”A contemporary thinker once opined, “Philosophy is simply the formation of bad reasons for what we believe on instinct.” No wonder that Judaism has a healthy suspicion of man’s capacity to rationalize.
One does not have to be a genius to realize that for what there is a desire, the mind will produce ample logical arguments to justify its pursuit.
