In Judaism faith means wrestling with God as Jacob once wrestled with an angel.

Jews survived all the defeats, expulsions, persecutions and pogroms, the centuries in which they were regarded as a pariah people, even the Holocaust itself, because they never gave up the faith that one day they would be free to live as Jews without fear.

A Martian would think that the English worship at supermarkets, not in churches.

Europe is dying. That is one of the unsayable truths of our time. We are undergoing the moral equivalent of climate change and no one is talking about it.

The people of Israel are entitled, as is any other nation, to live in peace and safety.

There's always hope. You can lose everything else in the world, but Jews never lose hope.

The test of faith is whether I can make space for difference. Can I recognize God's image in someone who is not in my image, who language, faith, ideal, are different from mine? If I cannot, then I have made God in my image instead of allowing him to remake me in his.
