I have ears to the wilderness, as I am walking.

One Friday night in the Old City of Jerusalem,
I sat among friends, finishing the Sabbath meal and talking.
The man, who had cordially invited us to his home, turned to me and asked,
"Religious studies, eh? Have you studied this week's portion?"
"No," I said, "I study all religions."
"OK, no problem, you go ahead, take a look at them all. But I assure you, you will see that Judaism is what you will come back to.”
“But sir,” I spoke (I think he was a bit confused), “I know I am a Jew, I am not looking to become part of any other religion, I just enjoy study—”
He cut me off. “Na’aseh, V’nishma. First we do, then we listen.”
