The New York Times eulogizes a man who died Friday —
“Rabbi Steinsaltz was a prolific and wide-ranging writer
and a sharp observer of humanity who wrote more than
60 books on philosophy, mysticism, theology, even zoology.
His study of kabbalah, ‘The Thirteen Petalled Rose,’ is
considered a classic and has been translated into eight languages.”
Another classic of Jewish thought:
Thoughts of the young Carl Reiner as rendered above in 1967 —
“Somewhere, someplace… there must be a lost horizon…
A Shangri-La where a man can find peace, happiness,
and lots of naked ladies.”
Voilà.
