Does God Love Scientists?

The purpose of this blog is to increase endearment at the Shabbat table... Please share...
Wishing Malka bas Sima a speedy and complete convalescence.

Silly question, right?

Of course God doesn't love scientists, because they _______.

Or maybe God does love scientists, because they ________.

Question for your table - what do you think?

Now here's a more difficult question:

Who's the most famous scientist in the Torah?

I'll give you a hint:

Start by defining "scientist".

We don't see a true scientific method in the Torah (although it does appear in the Talmud).

What we do see in the Torah (in this week's portion) is someone who sees a phenomenon and goes out of his way to study it, to try to understand it.

And that episode is one of only 3 times in the Torah when God calls someone by a term of endearment.

Figure out where it is yet?

Here's another hint.

Question for your table - based on this definition, are you a scientist?


Shabbat Shalom
