The meaning of the Sabbath is to celebrate time rather than space. Six days a week we live under the tyranny of things of space; on the Sabbath we try to become attuned to holiness in time. It is a day on which we are called upon to share in what is eternal in time, to turn from the results of creation to the mystery of creation; from the world of creation to the creation of the world.

The beginning of our happiness lies in the understanding that life without wonder is not worth living.

The higher goal of spiritual living is not to amass a wealth of information, but to face sacred moments.

Only those will apprehend religion who can probe its depth, who can combine intuition and love with the rigor of method

To sing means to sense and to affirm that the spirit is real and that its glory is present.

The man who has not suffered - what does he know anyway?
