This one is so short a vignette though, that it falls short of a drash, and dissolves into nothing. A critique of Western and Easetrn medicine, of supersticion, of Ibn Ezra's commentary, then a "perhaps it's not so supersticious"… is not serious, not polished. It doesn't nurture the soul nor the intellect. Let the column be a drashah, a sermon, a prose, that picks at least one aspect of the Sidrah and reflects on it with some depth and purpose. Thank you.
