Recently I've been reading (actually, starting anew - I picked this up some time back, but put it down for being too heavy at the time. Now it's just engrossing) Kaddish by Leon Wieseltier. It's a very enjoyable bit of history; insight into judaic thinking of history, learning, generations, and conceptions of knowledge; and autobiographic. More to come later, but it ties back to a sequence of percolating discussions on the nature of knowledge vs wisdom vs experience (where vs is not necessarily in opposition).
