Between the Tsmat Institute and the Weizmann Institute

Apparently, his intention is to ask, have you since addressed the questions that you left unanswered there (and wrote that you would deal with it another time) –

“The question that arises here is actually which is more important: the Tzmat Institute or the Weizmann Institute? Or in the golden language of the scouts: You will send your son to the Tzmat Institute and I to the Weizmann Institute and we will see who arrives first. Is it more important to develop the theory of relativity or an automatic leaven detector? Who is more loyal and more contributing to Judaism: Einstein or the synagogue sun? What do you say about this? I certainly think that these are questions that are worth considering. There is something to these claims, but this is only the partial truth. But as mentioned, this is not the place for too much clarification, and we will leave that for another time.

I understand. So I haven't written about it yet. I'll think about it.

The rule is that you save the T.A. first, not Einstein, so what do you think is more important?

Papa, here are some points for you to think about:
1. You assume that the Torah is saved first, and I'm not sure that's the case.
2. Beyond that, even if that's the law, then the Sages thought that the Torah is more important. The question is whether I agree. Their halachic authority does not mean that they are right in their assumptions.
3. Even if the Torah comes first, it could be for other reasons (such as educating the public. And maybe this is an impractical statement, after all, what are the chances that we will actually encounter such a situation?!). But in terms of importance, maybe Einstein comes first.
4. It should be remembered that my entire discussion is not about comparing a Torah scholar to a scholar in another field, but rather between an exceptional scholar in another field and an ordinary Torah scholar. My assumption is also that the Torah comes first. Einstein is an exceptional case of wisdom. So it is possible that the Sages here have a general determination of importance, but it is not true for extreme cases, but according to the halachah, it is not a fluke.
5. The comparison in the column dealt with the object and not the person. That is, the contribution to humanity and not the importance of the person. The question is who contributes more to humanity, the Tzmat Institute or the Weizmann Institute (Einstein). This does not necessarily mean that Einstein is more important in terms of the person.

In the name of God, so that you may be wise in all that you do, the Weizmann Institute, which enhances man's abilities to harness scientific knowledge to do great things in the world, brings man to a crossroads. He can use the achievements of science to develop tools of destruction and mass destruction, and he can use the achievements of science to bring well-being and healing and prevent suffering.

The development of science brings man to a crossroads. He can think: "I have light and I have made me, therefore everything is permitted to me," and he can learn from the miraculous wisdom of creation that "there is a leader for the capital," which imposes on man a grave responsibility to "straighten your backs and not to distort them."

The Weizmann Institute has opened a powerful crossroads for man, and here the Torah comes to be the ‘guide of the crossroads’, its commandments internalize in man that ’there is a leader to the capital’, and its laws and judgments constitute signposts that guide man to which righteous path he is permitted and commanded to follow and from which negative path he must stay away.
