This is a precursor to the apocalypse. Trust me on this; a completely free exchange of ideas is not good for anyone because there\u2019s a lot of crazy stuff out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Case in point. Someone made a video revealing the shocking truth they\u2019d just discovered, that trash bags come in the box with the seams on the outside. Instead of flapping them to fill them with air as most normal people do, this brilliant scientist of a teenager or twenty-something, pulled the bag open, placed the rim over the outer edges of the can, then proceeded to push it down into the can, having effectively inverted the bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This grand revelation came with the \u201cI was today years old when I learned\u2026\u201d comment. The idea, in case you missed it, is that for years, everyone in the world has been putting garbage bags into the kitchen can incorrectly; or maybe, everyone else knew how to do it right, and this Einstein just learned she\u2019d been doing it wrong (which meant her parents had been doing it wrong, since they taught her, and probably their parents too, for the same reason.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Turning The World On Its Head<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What got to me was how ridiculous this was. OK, the seams are on the outside. Yes, that\u2019s a function of production. It\u2019s not a pillow case that needs the seams inside so it doesn\u2019t scratch your face, or a dress that has to look finished, so the seams are hidden. Maybe on a garbage bag the seams are meant to be on the outside for strength or for ease of making the bags. But just because they\u2019re there doesn\u2019t mean you turn the world on its head and start putting garbage bags ON the cans instead of IN them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then there\u2019s another video I saw. A woman has a pot of boiling pasta. She takes it off the stove and brings it to the sink, where a large metal colander is waiting. She puts the pot down and waggles her finger to say, \u201cNo no, we\u2019re not going to pour the pasta into the colander.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, this nuclear physicist of an amateur chef places the bottom of the colander into the pot, requiring, of course, that they be matched for size, and then, holding both pot and colander handles, she tilts them forward so the water spills through the colander and when she\u2019s done, the pasta has never left the pot! Wow! Amazing! Why didn\u2019t I ever think of that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh, yeah. Because it\u2019s ridiculous, that\u2019s why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Do It Backwards?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Why on earth would you do it so backwards? It\u2019s extra effort to hold the two utensils together, and instead of letting gravity separate the water from the pasta as it sits in the colander, you now have to hold both items as the water drains away. Then what if you want to rinse the pasta? (I know, if you want sauce to stick to it you don\u2019t, but what if you don\u2019t care and you want to, like a lot of other people?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is it so difficult to flip the colander of pasta over so it falls back into the pot? It seems like a lot less work to me. And yet, this woman behaved like she was revealing the secrets of the cosmos. Do you know what she revealed to me? That this world is topsy-turvy. Things that don\u2019t make sense are portrayed as normal and intelligent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An Upside Down World<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Gemara in Pesachim and other places records that the son of Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi had a near-death experience. His father asked what he\u2019d seen. He replied, \u201cI saw an upside-down world! The top people (those who are rich and admired on earth) were on the bottom and the bottom people were on top.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat about Torah scholars?\u201d asked his father.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey were there, as they are here,\u201d replied the boy. \u201cYou didn\u2019t see an upside down world,\u201d said R\u2019 Yehoshua ben Levi, \u201cYou saw the true world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the Jews were in Egypt, they were ridiculed and mistreated as lowly individuals. Even the children of the maidservants who sat behind the stoves looked down on them. However, when we left Mitzrayim, that world was turned upside-down and everyone understood that we were Hashem\u2019s chosen people, chosen because we could be entrusted with His Torah and mitzvos. The inherent greatness within each of us was visible. This model has repeated itself time and time again, as Jews are disdained for being subhuman, when we\u2019re actually superhuman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">We\u2019re Doing It Right<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As I think of the world we live in today, where you don\u2019t need an out-of-body experience to see that things are backwards and upside down, I am comforted in the knowledge that soon, the whole world will be privy to the knowledge and the revelations we discuss at the Seder each year. The knowledge that we, who have learned from our parents and they from theirs, are doing it right, even if in others things we\u2019ve got it inside out. We have to make sure that each of us knows it, regardless of which of the four sons we most-closely resemble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our Torah and traditions are the truth, and they teach us how things ought to go. No matter how adamant the others are at telling us we\u2019re wrong, we can ignore them because we really do know the truth. Don\u2019t worry; we\u2019ve got this. Yes, it\u2019s totally in the bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>By Rabbi Jonathan Gewirtz<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Rabbi Jonathan Gewirtz (<a href=\"https:\/\/jewishecho.com\/torah-time\/operation-inspiration-\/\">Operation Inspiration<\/a>) welcomes comments and feedback.
