P.1362 - §3 For three years--until
he was ten--he attended the elementary school of the Nazareth synagogue.
For these three years he studied the rudiments of the Book of the Law as
it was recorded in the Hebrew tongue. For the following three years he studied
in the advanced school and committed to memory, by the method of repeating
aloud, the deeper teachings of the sacred law. He graduated from this school
of the synagogue during his thirteenth year and was turned over to his parents
by the synagogue rulers as an educated "son of the commandment"--henceforth
a responsible citizen of the commonwealth of Israel, all of which entailed
his attendance at the Passovers in Jerusalem; accordingly, he attended his
first Passover that year in company with his father and mother. |
