Time Turns the Table(t)s


       In a new gift book from my daughter, I read that one of the co-authors is always using her iPad to check her references, and she makes the "sweet reflection" that all texts have "come full circle":

                        "From tablet to tablet, from scroll to scroll."

       From, as I understand this, the Tablets of the Ten Commandments all the way to iPads, from scrolls of the Torah and other ancient secular and sacred texts to the scrolling you are doing now to read this.

       The book is jewsandwords by Amos Oz and his daughter Fania Oz-Salzberger.
