For the few who did there was still another set of classes called “Bet Midrash.” If you were smart enough and knew your Scriptures well enough to make it this far, you were given the opportunity to go to a rabbi (teacher) to seek further education. Very few of these students ever made it this far. Everyone who heard him was amazed at his understanding and his answers.” Look at how Jesus was described as a young boy in Luke 2:46-47 – “After three days they found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. They were taught to always be curious about the Scriptures. In this way, students could demonstrate both their knowledge and their great regard for the Scriptures. Instead of answering with an answer, they were taught to answer with another question. During this time, students also learned the Jewish art of questions an answers. Now, the kids who were really the best of the best among them were allowed to continue in school in something called “Bet Talmud.” Here, they studied all of the Hebrew Scriptures (Our Old Testament) and memorized all of them between the ages of 10-14. These classes were called “Bet Sefer.” Anyway, most Jewish kids were pretty well finished with school (“WooHoo! Graduation!”) after this and went home to learn the family trade – like fishing or carpentry or something like that.īet Talmud – “House of Learning” (Ages 10-14yrs) By the time they were about 10 years old, they had memorized all of the Torah – the first five books of the Bible. They had classes 5 days a week just like we do today. In the Jewish culture of Jesus’ day kids were taught the Torah (first 5 books of the Bible) in the local Synagogue (church) beginning at the age of 6.

It’s cool to grow as a band and get closer to them. I’ve opened for Korn and toured with Korn before, but on a much lower slot many times, actually. I toured with Korn quite a bit, but I’ve only done, I don’t want to say an ‘equal billing’ because we’ll never be equal to Korn - Korn is Korn, but a higher-up sort of thing. Mötley Crüe to them is what Korn is to me in the timeframe of things.” Fieldy was actually telling me a story a while ago because I told him, ‘Man, I can’t get over that I’m hanging out with you.’īecause I hung out with him quite a bit and I still can’t get over it, and he said he felt that way for a little while too with Mötley Crüe because that’s what they were to him, because that’s his era. It’s like a ‘meeting-your-idol’ thing and that will never go away. I looked up to them before I had anything in life, and it’s an idol thing.
