"You can learn something from everything," the rabbi of Sadagora once said to his disciples. "Everything can teach us something, and not only everything God has created. What man has made has also something to teach us."
"What can we learn from a train?" one hasid asked dubiously.
"That because of one second one can miss everything."
"And from the telegraph?"
"That every word is counted and charged."
"And the telephone?"
"That what we say here is heard there."
- Martin Buber, Tales of the Hasidim
