“Woe to (those) who look upon the Torah as simply tales pertaining to things of the world, seeing thus only the outer garment. But (those) whose gaze penetrates to the very Torah, happy are they. Just as wine must be in a jar to keep, so the Torah must be contained in an outer garment. That garment is made up of the tales and stories; but we, we are bound to penetrate beyond.”
