Интересная статья про сионизм Шолема. Цитата не характерная, но яркая:
I never knew Scholem, but, like many, I have a personal story nonetheless. I was a student at the kabbalistic yeshiva in Jerusalem Yeshivat Ha-Hayyim ve ha-Shalom from 1982 to 1984 under the tutelage of the renowned kabbalist Rav Mordecai Attia. I heard that Scholem had died on Feb. 21, 1982, and the funeral was to commence just as Rav Attia’s daily shiur in Lurianic Kabbalah was to begin promptly at 3 p.m. I thought about skipping class to attend Scholem’s funeral but, as I was then still very much in the Haredi world, even though I instinctively knew it was an important moment, I decided against it. But perhaps as an act of rebellion, or just curiosity, before class began I turned to Rav Attia and said, “Did you know Gershom Scholem died today?” He looked at me dead-pan and responded, “If you mention his name again you will have to leave the room.” Then he smiled widely through his long beard, opened his book, looked at me, and said “read.” We never spoke of it again. In retrospect, I think Scholem would have appreciated Rav Attia’s response. |

мне тон повествования напомнил известную байку Атийи про Вейля и rien de nouveau ici

а что за байка?
достал откуда-то из кэша, не обессудь
And then we had Andre Weil came and gave a course of lectures here, I think e nd of my first year, and he'd written this paper about vector bundles and alg ebraic geometry, vistar, but my relations with him were a bit strained. Actua lly, what happened was that he gave his course which is in the third term on developing what lectures he'd given before on algebraic geometry, and Fibre B undles, and really overlapped a lot with what I was writing up for my Smith's Prize Essay, and so I was very chuffed - here was this great man giving lect ures on one of the things that I was working on independently. So I showed hi m my typescript, first version of my typescript, and was hoping to get some e ncouragement, you see. He took it away and then he kept it a week or two and then he gave it back to me and there was no comment, you see, and I was a bit disappointed. And I looked very carefully and on the sheet, cover sheet we h ad written on this bit of paper, if you held it up to the light like they do with all this new electrostatic device or something, you could see some writi ng. Somebody'd written on another sheet above so it came through, and what it said was "Rien de Nouveau Ici" and I thought to myself he didn't mean that, that must have been accidental. But I got to know him subsequently much bette r when I was a colleague and it's just the kind of thing he would have done. He wasn't going to tell me to my face that there's nothing new here, but he w asn't above writing it so I work it out for myself. And you know, in some sen se it was true. I mean obviously what I was doing was somehow more or less co ntinuing what he'd been talking about, although I was doing a bit more detail ed, but still I was a first year graduate student and he was a famous profess or, and that's not the way you encourage research students. So, you know, if I'd been a bit sort of less resilient it might have put me off and made me qu it. But I persisted, but I've never forgotten it.
