Moreover in Luria there is an idea which seems to be appropriate in modern times.while we were coming back after the seminar, I asked him whether he was eager to say in the hall". He replied in the affirmative and said it wasbetter that I didn't say anything. Then he said that in Luria the relation between East and West had been explicitly stated."
