Welcome to the Ethics of the Decalogue

The lesson of truth is not held in one consciousness.  It explodes toward the other.  To study well, to read well, to listen well, is already to speak:  whether by asking questions and, in so doing, touching the master you teacher you, or by teaching a third party.

--Emmanuel Levinas "Beyond the Verse:  Talmudic Readings and Lectures" (1994)
