Outlines
🤔 La Teoría de las Cinco Patas

Highlights
The speaker developed a theory of the five major legs on which being Jewish stands, aiming to provide a sense of unity without uniformity.
The first leg is a sense of memory, with Jews encouraged to remember and internalize collective experiences like the Exodus from Egypt.
The second leg is the understanding that Jews are a family, sharing a sense of empathy, warmth, and sympathy towards one another.
The third leg is the importance of Mount Sinai, where Jews defined their values, behavior, and distinctive identity to the world.
The land of Israel and the State of Israel form the fourth leg, with the land serving as the 'warehouse of Jewish memory' and the state being a homeland for all Jews.
The fifth leg is the Hebrew language, which conveys cultural concepts central to Jewish identity and tradition.
The speaker humorously shares his journey from studying physics to Jewish history, influenced by a chance encounter with a young lady.
The speaker's father believed that Jews have memory, not history, highlighting the importance of collective memory in Jewish identity.
Breaking a glass under the bridal canopy is a Jewish tradition to remember the destruction of Jerusalem, linking personal life events with collective memory.
Jewish education aims to link individual Jews' personal memories with the collective memory of the Jewish people.
The speaker emphasizes the importance of the Jewish people having a homeland, which eliminates the concept of Jewish refugees.
The State of Israel is not only important to Israelis but is a fundamental aspect of being Jewish for all Jews worldwide.
Learning Hebrew is crucial as it allows Jews to pray and connect with their culture in a way that is unique to their tradition.
The concept of 'falling in love' does not exist in Jewish culture; instead, love is seen as a mutual, reciprocal process.
The speaker suggests that if every Jew internalizes at least three of the five legs, the Jewish community can remain unified without being uniform.
The speaker uses the metaphor of a five-legged table to illustrate the strength and stability that comes from embracing these five aspects of Jewish identity.
The speaker's personal story adds humor and a human touch, showing his unexpected path to becoming a 'Jewish carpenter'.
Transcripts
I love iki do any of you remember that
film that little wonderful something
from outer space who comes to earth and
after everything he sees he founds home
and reports I'll be obsessed with the
idea what is it that Ikki reports on
after meeting Jews who are they what are
they why are they so different how can
they all be one and yet be so different
I've been bothered by that because in
all of these various positions that
Shoshanna refer to the lack of
uniformity of the Jewish people from day
to day becomes more and more evident the
Jews are no longer uniform
we will never uniform about how did you
but we were always uniform until the
emancipation over what it meant to be a
Jew that does not exist today and I'm
bothered by the question is it possible
to be unified without being uniform I
have searched for a way to contend with
that question I'd like to share with you
what I've developed and has become known
as the theory of the five major tables
why a five legged table
there was a table with five legs is very
steady it is very strong
if all Jews were to fulfill in their
lives all five legs that I'm going to
talk about we would be very very strong
but I had seen tables made for 5mins
stand on fall I've seen in stand on
three on two they tipple over on one
they're not even a table so what am i I
am basically a Jewish carpenter I travel
a world meeting with Jews trying to talk
to you is about the five legs on which I
view being Jewish standing and I try to
encourage people to try to internalize
in their lives at least three out of the
five legs it usually begins with an hour
and a half nature 12 minutes I'm going
to talk to you about the five legs but I
do have to tell a story I come from a
long line of very very well-known
physicists my uncle was the creator of
the Sputnik another one who's the head
of the physics at Yale and the day that
I was born my late father knew that I'm
going to become the world's greatest
physicist Einstein nothing compared to
my father's dreams about me so when I
went to study at the Hebrew University I
went to study physics on the first day
of school I was sitting in the physics
lab looking outside out of the window
and I saw this very gorgeous young lady
walking towards the history department
so I graduated in history who said
she's now about to become the
great-grandmother of my
great-grandfather but I have to did my
father know about this
so I write my father and then I tell my
father Abba I've decided not to study
physics I'm gonna devote my life to the
study of Jewish history at the Hebrew
University in Jerusalem I'd get a reply
from my father not by email we didn't
have it then and get this thing called a
telex I can see from the side the letter
that my father is furious but he'd
forgotten about me becoming a scientist
he was mad at the Hebrew University he
said what the Hema University teaches
Jewish history are they out of their
minds there is no such thing as Jewish
history Jews don't have history Jews
have memory I had no idea what he was
talking about today let me tell you my
father was a hundred percent right Jews
do not have history that first leg of
Jewish life is a sense of memory on
Passover night we say uh of Cana Domini
in Orthodox law ke Lu who he had Sammy
meet Ryan each person has himself as if
they personally came out of Egypt the
verb that appears in our tradition more
than any other verb is the verb li
scores of Korra's athens the quran he is
called remember remember remember we
carry to a phenomenon extreme a young
couple forty Lanza they decide to spend
their lives together they get under the
bridal canopy what do they do they break
a glass why in order to remember the
destruction of Jerusalem I've been in
this world for a long time my friends
I've never met a couple who spent the
first night of their merry
worrying about the structure of
Jerusalem but you can't begin anything
Jewish
you can't build anything Jewish you
can't do anything Jewish without
courting on memory which is why the
purpose of Jewish education and the only
purpose of Jewish education is how you
take individual Jew open his mind and
help that person link their personal
memory to the collective memory of the
Jewish people memory leg number two
whose memory
who are we why am I here because I sana
told me to be here but really why am i
yeah most of you people I don't know and
I love you maybe I love you because I
don't know you but who are we I always
tell the story of this well-known bank
in New York or the Chase Manhattan Bank
a successful Bank although it's not a
Jewish Bank the Chase Manhattan Bank has
a slogan that every kid in the world in
New York knows you have a friend at
Chase Manhattan cost you a fortune
but you have a friend then chasing that
when Bank discount of Israel opened up
its first branch in New York they look
for a slogan to attract customers and
they came out with an amazing slogan
that you heard every four hours on local
television every hour local radio and
the slogan said you may have a friend at
Chase Manhattan but we are Miss Walker
and then hit that nail on the head
because that is the second leg of being
Jewish that understanding that feeling
that warmth that sympathy that empathy
with an understanding that we are a
family that's why we were called Benes I
am not usually bruised but the children
of Israel leg number three if memories
will be important to the family we have
to remember that our earliest memory is
not that the Jews left Egypt who
suddenly appeared in Israel they stopped
somewhere on the way they stopped at a
place called Mount Sinai and something
happened at Mount Sinai however you
interpret Mount Sinai
you can't ignore Mount Sinai
because Mount Sinai is the place in
which we printed our visiting card we
describe to the world who we are we
determine for ourselves how will behave
of what's important to us what are the
values that will guide us how are we in
our own distinctive manner applied to
this family and it's memory a world of
values and a relationship with the
Almighty and leg number 4 there's a for
a and a for B the land of Israel and the
State of Israel they are not the same
thing as you can tell from my accent I
was born in South Africa so that because
what are we another continent another
country it's a different hemisphere when
you have summer they have winter when
you have spring their fall but the
amazing things that use in South Africa
start to pray for rain on the last day
of support it's the middle of October I
don't know anybody in South Africa one's
really knocked oh that is the wrong time
of the earth
and I used to be very happy to get very
nervous what would happen is God for a
change answer the prayer I didn't always
look like this I used to be a sportsman
I just play rugby I wanted to go and
play a my friends are praying for rain I
went to my father said about why are
they praying for rain now my father
looks at many citizen we have around our
rain doesn't fall in South Africa our
rain falls in energy sale now you try to
grab normal with an answer likely
there's no possible way but the Land of
Israel all of the Land of Israel
irrespective of who ruled it or who will
rule a part of it all of the Land of
Israel is the warehouse of Jewish memory
and for be my friends is the State of
Israel
if anybody resume his reason not to like
the State of Israel it's me I live it I
have to live with those drivers I live
with that government I love the State of
Israel in my own time in my own
childhood the verb that went along with
a noun Jewish more than the sorry the
noun that went along with the adjective
more than any other now was a noun a few
G Jewish refugee Jewish refugee today
there is no such animal in the world as
a Jewish refugee for one reason only
there is a State of Israel and that is
why Israel can not only be of importance
to the Israeli but is a basic leg of
being Jewish for all Jews around the
world and I'd like to end with leg
number five I don't know how many of you
have ever been to a place called Omaha
Nebraska I never knew that it was a
state in America according abrasca I
never knew there was a city named
after my grandmother Omar but I get
invited to next chain Omaha Nebraska I
arrived in a Sunday morning they say to
me that my lecture is in the evening
would I like to visit their Sunday
school I go to the Sunday School I walk
into a classroom I see a teacher
surrounded by a group of 20 or 25 11
year old kids and she's trying to teach
them how to read a language they don't
understand do you know what I'm talking
about
I looked at the faces of these kids I
saw the suffering of my people I said of
the teacher why are you doing this she
says to me I've only got a year or two -
they borrowed my maths bar mitzva Bar or
Bat Mitzvah and they have to learn how
to pray in Hebrew I called over one of
the kids I've never forget him because
of his beautiful Hebrew name Timothy I
said Timothy why do you have to pray in
Hebrew he said to me because God does
not understand English my god President
Bush almost understood English
we pray in Hebrew because all peoples do
important things in the language of
their culture because language conveys
cultural concepts that are central to
our language I want to end with one
example all of you must have heard of
the phrase to fall in love I don't know
where we get the hoods but to use that
language you do not fall in love you
rise in love you don't find this phrase
in a British language or in the Jewish
language only Christian languages
because it does come from the concept of
the cardinal sin of man the first
failing how do you say to fall in love
in Hebrew they hit a head it's a
uniquely medical form it's in hit by L
it's reflexive it's give and take it's a
different concept of love we know that
through our language memory family Mount
Sinai the land in the State of Israel
and the Hebrew language if every Jew
would find a way of internalizing at
least three out of those five legs in
their lives we won't be uniform but we
were always be unified thank you
[Applause]
