Words of the Week: Chaim Weizmann (via Oren Kessler)
“If Moses had chosen to bring us to America, our problem would have been easy, but he did not choose to do so, and he is not here to discuss it.”
Chaim Weizmann, quoted in Oren Kessler, Palestine 1936 (p. 200; attributed to a meeting in London in February 1939).

I hardly wish to quarrel with Chaim Weizmann, but I’m not so sure that the problem would have been “easy”; “easier,” quite likely.

Gave me a good smile. Go Chaim!
