Sefer Daniel; Opportunity in Exile
Poignant Questions from TABC Talmid Eitan Nissel
Sefer Daniel (1:9-15) records Daniel asking his Babylonian supervisor permission to restrict his diet to beans. It is most interesting that Daniel requested permission and did not act unilaterally, despite his having resolved to avoid eating Nevuchadnetzar’s food. Daniel asking permission teaches us to avoid unnecessary aggressive confrontations.
