I like very much when I am looking at modern Jews, - to imagine how they could look like if they lived 20-30 hundreds years ago, - dressed in typical oriental clothes with wonderful jewelry, which are mentioned so many times in the Scriptures.

David. Psalm |
For example, look at Natan who is
driving his bus. He raises his
eyebrows, than thinks for a little, and starts telling his next proverb, how two
Jews met at the market place and the first one told another one…oh! He is the
image of the king Solomon!
You will ask me how do I know that he is like that very Solomon from the Book? And I shall reply the same way as every Jew would reply: ”How could I not know? My Grandfather told me, and my Grandfather was told about it by his Grandfather, and his Grandfather was told by his own Grandfather, who also had his Grandfather. And before him everything was written very carefully, and all the writings were kept in the Temple, which was built by that very king Solomon.” So it’s a very old family story. If you want to be sure , ask any Jew who has a surname Levy, or Levinson, or Cogan, or Coganis , or Cohen, - in any country of the world, and they will say very seriously that they are the direct descendants of Aaron, and it means that they are from the tribe of Cohens (priests) who served in the Temple in Jerusalem. How do they know it? The same way as I do know about Solomon. Everyone of them had his Grandfather. And it’s a Jewish tradition to tell the stories about their ancestors, to learn about them very attentively, and to keep what was written about them. Because of that we have the Jewish Scriptures – the Bible now. That way I was revealing my relatives to myself while studying the TANACH.
