The Importance of Remembering

The importance of memory as part of what it means to become wise is very evocative. A Jewish historian named Joseph Klam Yerushami wrote a book called Sahoor, which means memory or remember. So on Passover night, all Jews sit around and tell the story of the Exodus. They engage in an act of memory. And I do think that tradition is so fundamental to human identity and your ability to not just see yourself in the present.
