Judaism Is Like Haiku
a: Judaism ~
b: Haiku
What: "With the strict limitation of a seventeen-syllable poem, the Haiku form does not strangle poets. It sparks creativity, forcing writers to find new ways of expressing complex ideas briefly yet profoundly. The boundaries are part of the poet's art. Similarly, the halakhic boundaries should be a part of the religious artist's creations, forcing him to find original ways to express his thoughts."
