'Indifference to evil is equal to evil' because it strengthens people.

I say to myself, if the text was good enough for my father and grandfather, it must be good enough for me. I admit, that is a rather personal way of approaching the text - or a prayer.

Abraham is trying to obey God, but not to kill. I feel that moment is one of the defining moments of Jewish faith.

I have no doubt that faith is only pure when it does not negate the faith of another. I have no doubt that evil can be fought and that indifference is no option. I have no doubt that fanaticism is dangerous. And of all the books in the world on life, I have no doubt that the life of one person weighs more than them all.

Suffering pulls us farther away from other human beings. It builds a wall made of cries and contempt to separate us.

My God was never happiness, but to understand and be understood.

The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.
