summary

The four questions commence with the worker’s question: “Why are we different from Samuel the manufacturer, Meir the banker…and R. Todros the Rabbi? They don’t do anything and have what to eat and drink all day and night…while we work with all our strength a whole day and night and don’t have what to eat even once” (p. 6).
