Title: There Are No Basketball Courts In Heaven
Posted on: May 5th, 2010
Sections → BooksRabbi Dovid Landesman jokes that one of his former students used to refer to him as General Eclectic because he could never safely predict how he would come down on various issues.

Somewhat taken aback, Rabbi Landesman asked him to explain his criticism. The student replied, "You always want us to think!"
