Each morning I pray for about 15 minutes and do a whole programme of 20 minutes hard exercise. When my son was young, I spent almost an hour with him on Jewish Hebrew study before breakfast each morning. I knew I had you to myself 100 per cent'. He enjoyed it. My wife, Shulie, and I took a lot of care to educate our children in Jewish culture.
Breakfast is only about ten minutes.
I cycle to work at the University Library and home again so that is another half an hour of exercise each day. In other words, I love the great variety. You come across an exciting fragment, perhaps a thousand years old, that nobody has ever published. The manuscripts came here exactly one hundred years ago. Two Scots women living in Cambridge, twins called Margaret Gibson and Agnes Lewis, visited Cairo and bought some Hebrew fragments which they brought home.
