I will go wherever the
truth
leads me. It is secular scholarship, Rebbe; it is not the scholarship of tradition. In secular scholarship there are no boundaries and no permanently fixed views. Lurie, if the Torah cannot go out into your world of scholarship and return stronger, then we are all fools and charlatans. I have faith in the Torah. I am not afraid of
truth

Truth
has to be given in riddles. People can't take
truth
if it comes charging at them like a bull. The bull is always killed. You have to give people the
truth
in a riddle, hide it so they go looking for it and find it piece by piece; that way they learn to live with it.

The world will indulge you just so long Asher Lev. Then it will stop. You will simply have to grow accustomed to that
