...to be a professor. However,
'Moreh' doesn't mean 'reproducing (eg. College)Teacher' but
'authoritative instructor (eg. for new Torah)', easy to decide from 'Maskil'
,
ie 'reproducing instructor/intelligent one', a kind of political
(war)commissar.

'Tzaddik'
is called 'Tzadok' but every 'Tzadok' is a 'Tzaddik'.
IMO this is the ultimate way to breed flies in s.o. brain....
With a happy buzz-buzz to all,
