I think our people in Britain have a normative expectation of ethical conduct.

Close to a billion people - one-eighth of the world's population - still live in hunger. Each year 2 million children die through malnutrition. This is happening at a time when doctors in Britain are warning of the spread of obesity. We are eating too much while others starve.

Happiness is not made by what we own. It is what we share.

Frequent worshippers are also significantly more active citizens. They are more likely to belong to community organizations, especially those concerned with young people, health, arts and leisure, neighborhood and civic groups and professional associations.

Jews know this in their bones. Our community could not exist for a day without its volunteers. They are the lifeblood of our organizations, whether they involve welfare, youth, education, care of the sick and elderly, or even protection against violence and abuse.

The royals - all of them, especially Prince Philip and Prince Charles - have done outstanding work with the faith communities.

Find people not to envy but to admire. Do not the profitable but the admirable deed. Live by ideals.
