Jewish students learning from their rabbiĪs with many young men raised in the Orthodox Jewish religion, Dave and his family believed they must strictly observe Jewish law and prayer. As the son of an esteemed Rabbi, Dave studied Talmud passionately while attending the progressive yeshiva, where his father taught English, history, and Hebrew. A talent in the Talmud was the most sought-after achievement by every student of a yeshiva and was a reputation for brilliance in the most crucial area of their faith. The test of true intellectual excellence was reduced by tradition to a single area of study: the Talmud- the main text of Judaism and the primary source of religious law in Jewish theology. So Dave carried a double burden: Hebrew studies in the mornings and the current American curriculum in the afternoons.

Hebrew education was compulsory for David, and because this was America and not Medieval Europe, modern education was also mandatory. On Fridays, the Jewish students were let out at about one o'clock to prepare for the Shabbat - the Jewish Sabbath, which fell on Saturdays. Dave's family sent every male child to a yeshiva, a Jewish parochial school, where they studied from eight in the morning to three or four in the afternoon.

Separately, a rocket was fired from the Gaza Strip into southern Israel, striking near Ashkelon city without causing any casualties, the army said."In Jewish history, there are no coincidences." – Elie Wieselīeing friends with Dave was a crash course in Conservative Judaism.
