hand of God, the boy about to be initiated was wrapped in a prayer
shawl and taken by his father to the teacher. The teacher sat the boy on
his lap and showed him a slate on which were written the Hebrew
alphabet, a passage from Scriptures and the words "May the Torah be
your occupation." The teacher read out every word and the child
repeated it. Then the slate was covered with honey and the child licked
it, thereby bodily assimilating the holy words.' They were sweet to the
taste: 'O taste and see that the Lord is good.' (Psalm 34:8)"
