Albert Camus in 2025
Question
Hello Rabbi,
If Albert Camus were in Israeli society in 2025, what position do you think he would take regarding the war and the release of the hostages?
Answer
In my opinion, he would be working a 40% position at the newspaper "Haaretz," and in the afternoons he would go jogging in Yarkon Park. He would be married to a woman named Judith, a convert from Belgium, and they would live on Herzl Street in Metula (and even though their house would be hit by missiles), and they would have ten children.
Discussion on Answer
It doesn't make sense for him to live in Metula and go all the way to Yarkon Park for jogging. Begging your pardon.
1. He doesn't go. He runs (jogging).
2. Existentialists really aren't particular about logic. It's not a factor for them.
Hahaha wow, I really wasn't expecting an answer like that.
Hahaha, I can't stop laughing. Thank you..
