Yeah.
Um, my favorite kind of thing when it comes um to autism and Jewish culture, right?
So Jewish education is traditionally not done in the same way that we think of in our kind of general Anglo
Christian Anglo generalized education, right?
We have a teacher who sits up at the front of the room, a bunch of students sitting in desks in front of them, teacher lectures, maybe students ask questions, right?
And the bell rings and you leave.
So Jewish education is actually done in a different way.
Um there's still a teacher at the head of the school at the head of the class, but you actually learn in pairs.
Uh and it's actually involves
arguing and pointing out where you see logical flaws and what other somebody else's interpretation of the text is.
Um
And it's called Hebrutar, which literally means like
Kind of in connection or friendship, right?
So you and I would be studying a text together under the teacher's supervision.
We would read the text, I would say what I think it means, you would say what you think it means, and we might debate, right?
And the idea of this is one, so like it's good to argue, it's good to be quote unquote pedantic.
It's good to even interrupt somebody's thought in some ways, right?
Which is not great good for some autistic people, not so great for other autistic people.
But you're meant to challenge the ideas, right?
And the reason that we do this is one, because when you have to defend your ideas, you're gonna have a more specific and a more kind of sharp way of looking at it.
