The tragedy of religion is partly due to its isolation from life, as if God could be segregated.

Man is a messenger who forgot the message.

Never once in my life did I ask God for success or wisdom or power or fame. I asked for wonder, and he gave it to me.

Everything is phenomenal; everything is incredible; never treat life casually. To be spiritual is to be amazed.

This is one of the goals of the Jewish way of living: to experience commonplace deeds as spiritual adventures, to feel the hidden love and wisdom in all things.

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

It is gratefulness which makes the soul great.
