Homilies
Question
Do you accept Inbal’s approach to homilies?
I saw that you were sitting in the audience at his lecture (and you were awake. Just curious—do you usually fall asleep during other people’s homilies?)
Answer
I don’t remember. Why would I fall asleep? If I were falling asleep, I wouldn’t have stayed there. Besides, there’s a difference between a homily and a lesson. For before a lesson, one first washes one’s hands and then sits down to the lesson, whereas before a homily, one first sits down (and falls asleep) and only then washes one’s hands. Simple enough.
So in general, did he just confuse your brain, or did he make a good argument?
