Still when it comes to finding fault we are fonder of windows than of mirrors.

I see the role of a rabbi or a pastor in general sort of like the role of a quarterback who throws the ball a little bit ahead of the receiver - that is you want to make people run just a bit to catch up to the message that you offer.

Still when it comes to finding fault we are fonder of windows than of mirrors.

Faith is not knowledge of what the mystery of the universe is, but the conviction that there is a mystery, and that it is greater than us.

You have to guard the integrity of your soul and what you believe and have a certain amount of faith not only the country but in God that this is part of the mission.

It doesn't have to be somber to be sacred.

Prayer is not a monologue. It speaks to God and to the community. In the last analysis, religion is not what goes on inside a soul. It is what goes on in the world, between people, between us and God. To trap faith in a monologue, and pretend that it resides solely inside the self, undermines the true interchange of all belief.
