It is said about Jonathan Aibshitz (1690-1764), a rabbi in the city of Prague, that from a young age he was a great luminary of the Torah and possessed a brilliant mind.
Once, in a conversation with a Gentile, the latter posed the following question: According to your Torah, you should cease being Jewish and become a Gentile. It is written in your Torah that "you shall bow down to the majority." Gentiles are the majority, Jews the minority. You must become a Gentile.
After thinking for a few minutes, little Jonathan replied: The rule of bowing to the majority applies when there is a trial, and the judges are in doubt about the verdict. Some say one way, and others say another. In such a case, where there is doubt, the Torah states that one must "bow" and accept the majority's decision. I have no doubt about who I am. I am Jewish, and I have no reason to follow the majority of Gentiles.
The only way to reach the security of Jonathan and not get lost among the majority is to study, ask questions, investigate, and question constructively, with the aim of observing, learning, and knowing. The only way to be certain of the continuity of Judaism in general, and of La Plata in particular, is by connecting with that which is eternal, with the heritage of our people, our sacred Torah.
