Aizehu chachám? Ha-loméd mi-kol adám
(Ashkenazi: 'Aizehu chóchom? Ha-lóhmed mi-kol ódom) 'The wise learn from everyone.'
|
|||
|
Literally 'Who is wise? Someone who learns from everyone.' This Talmudic maxim is a reminder that the wise and learned, though in many ways the Jewish elite, cannot live apart from the community. Wisdom is with the people.
