A young man with a lyre slung over his shoulder shaded his eyes as he looked over at the walled-in city of Jerusalem. He wanted to learn the Torah, but not just in any old way. He wanted a great teacher, but just how would he know who was? The young man sat under a tree and scratched his head, thinking great thoughts. Not. All of a sudden he noticed a blue bird perched on a “nearby branch standing on one foot.” The little bird was so well-balanced he didn’t even plop onto the ground. “That’s it,” he cried out, “A great teacher would be clever enough to stand on one foot.”The foolish boy set off to Jerusalem to find himself that great teacher ... the very one who could teach him the entire Torah standing on one foot! Surely there would be a wise rabbi who could do that. “Can you teach me the whole Torah,” he asked the first rabbi he saw, “while standing on one foot?” The rabbi quickly dismissed him with a laugh, claiming that even Rabbi Hillel, a great scholar couldn’t manage that one. Alas, the foolish, angry young man went on his way to find a wise rabbi who could teach him. He stomped and fumed (grrrrrr!) until he spotted another rabbi reading a scroll.Surely a rabbi reading a scroll could help him and he asked his question once again. Of course the rabbi turned him away by exclaiming, “Don’t you know there are 613 commandments in the Torah?” On and on he went pronouncing all the difficult things he would have to do in order to teach that foolish young man. He too agreed that even Rabbi Hillel couldn’t manage that one. He asked yet another rabbi and then some children, but wasn’t getting anywhere. The foolish young man finally headed off to find Rabbi Hillel, the “wisest rabbi in all of Jerusalem.
