At the age of twelve he said that he “believed profoundly. During the day I studied the Talmud, and at night I ran to the synagogue to weep over the destruction of the Temple.” (Page 1) When he was asked, “Why do you pray?” by Moshe the Beadle, Eliezer responded by asking himself “Why do I pray?...
