Why Not?

By: Noga Algom illustrations: Gilad Sofer

The vixen is always asking "why?", as many children often do. The world gradually opens itself to them, their curiosity is aroused, and often expressed by asking "why?". What grown-ups take for granted seems new to them, as they strive to know and understand more and more. Asking questions is also part of our culture and tradition: for instance, on Seder Night, the youngest members of the family are encouraged to ask: "Why is this night different from all other nights?"… Being curious about the world is a way of learning, as Nobel Physics Prize laureate Isidor Isaac Rabi explained in response to being asked whether attending heder had helped him become a physicist:

Every time I returned home from heder, my mother asked me not "What did you learn?" but "Did you ask a good question today?"

[And you shall choose life, Professor Ephraim Katzir]
