("Ben Dima, the nephew of Rabbi Yishmael, asked Rabbi Yishmael, "Like me, who have learned the wisdom of Israel, what is the use of learning the wisdom of pigeons?" He said to him, "It is written, 'This book of the Torah will not depart from your mouth, and you will meditate on it day and night.' If there is an hour that is neither day nor night, learn the wisdom of pigeons in it." - Rabbi Mishna Eliezer, Parasha 13, 250, and so on: "To establish a 'house of midrash' dedicated to the Torah and the wisdom of Israel, and to illuminate with the lights of knowledge and with the lamp of learning and reasoning the entrance to our Talmudic and Rabbinic books" - Berdichevsky/Kitavhim, 2, 22, and so on: "They arose for the wisdom of Israel in its early days, the unique "Segula and Amukhi Tekunah, like Dal and Karanak and Shir, are they and what comes out of them, from which a sense of my motherland has been still strengthened in the language of their people" - Bialik/ on "The Wisdom of Israel", and so: "In a man from Israel the things said, I would like to give a detail to a 'Mizrahi' or to a rabbi and doctor from the state of Ashkenaz who is wise in wisdom "Israel" - H. Hazaz/ The First Generations, 40)
