In speaking of Jesus, I must speak about Christianity because I do not think it possible or profitable to divide the two.

For some years I deserted religion in favour of Marxism. The republic of goodness seemed more attainable than the Kingdom of God.

I was not allowed a physical lover. Falling in love with Love was the best I could get.

Discrimination against Jews can be read in Thomas Aquinas, and insults against Jews in Martin Luther.

I feel that the Christian experience and the Jewish one have much to give each other. If this open society continues and there is no return to political anti-Semitism, then this encounter, deeper than any theology, may happen.

An aged rabbi, crazed with liberalism, once said to me, We Jews are just ordinary human beings. Only a bit more so!

I found that when I did something for the sake of heaven, heaven happened. These things changed my life. I owe them to my encounter with Christianity.
