עִם־לָבָ֣ן גַּ֔רְתִּי וָאֵחַ֖ר (בראשית לב:ה) דָּ"אַ גַּרְתִּי בְּגִימַטְרִיָּא תרי"ג, כְּלוֹמַר, עִם לָבָן גַּרְתִּי וְתַרְיַ"ג מִצְוֹת שָׁמַרְתִּי וְלֹא לָמַדְתִּי מִמַּעֲשָׂיו הָרָעִים: (רש"י) כאשר לאנשים יש בחירה בין שני כיוונים, בדרך כלל מניחים שהם יטו לשני הכיוונים באותה מידה. כשהייתי ילד צעיר אמי לימדה אותי שאנשים נוטים באופן טבעי לאפשרות הנמוכה מבין שתי האפשרויות. לדוגמה, אם קבוצה [...]

וְיַעֲקֹב֙ אִ֣ישׁ תָּ֔ם יֹשֵׁ֖ב אֹהָלִֽים (בראשית כה:כז) ר' אלי' לופיאן הסביר בדרך משל: אם נשאל איזה מישהו: "סליחה אדוני האם אתה אוהב דגים?" והוא יענה: "מאוד אוהב"... הרי שיש כאן משהו לא ברור, אם באמת הוא היה אוהב דגים, הוא היה אוכל אותם?! אלא הוא אוהב את עצמו, וכשהוא אוכל דגים - טעים לו! אם הוא [...]
