The Israeli ‘Games of Chef’ TV series has a history of picking “interesting” candidates for the competition. The last program (May 22, 2018) presented, among others, two men: Tamir, a person who recently became ultra-Orthodox, and, Leizer, who has left the “Haredi” (ultra-Orthodox) world and became secular.<\/p>\n
The two were preparing their dishes at the same kitchen, at the same time. It was funny to observe the dialog that developed between these two. One can learn a lot from this.<\/p>\n
Tamir: Blessed are you, God, through whose word everything comes into being.<\/p>\n
Leizer: Well, whatever.<\/p>\n
Tamir: Did you say “Amen”?<\/p>\n
Leizer: No, I said “Whatever”.<\/p>\n
Tamir: It’s your miss, bro. There is no unbelieving Jew. You cannot run away from yourself.<\/p>\n
Leizer: Why? I am not running from myself, I have run away into myself.<\/p>\n
… [some irrelevant parts of the conversation] …<\/p>\n
Tamir: Leizer?<\/p>\n
Leizer: Yes?<\/p>\n
Tamir: What about Teffilin? (Phylacteries, a Jewish ritual device)<\/p>\n
Leizer: What about Tefillin?<\/p>\n
Tamir: Do you want to use it after cooking here?<\/p>\n
Leizer: Ah, no. One doesn’t repeat the same mistake twice.<\/p>\n
Tamir: Wow… Speaking with forked tongue. He doesn’t believe what he says.<\/p>\n
Leizer: It’s a thing with believing Jews that they believe what they want. They don’t believe what someone else tells them… I’m telling you “no”.<\/p>\n
Tamir: It’s only a matter of time until he’ll discover it. He’ll come back to it… Eh, Leizer?<\/p>\n
