I am pleased now that I have lived in a gay as well as a religious ghetto, though it hasn't been very comfortable. Taken together, their limitations cancel each other out and I have seen the world more kindly and more honestly.

I was not comfortable worshipping another Jew.

What would I have done if I'd been put to the test? Would I have risked my own life for people I hardly knew? Probably, I would have looked the other way at best or become another apologist for evil at worst.

This Christian poison hasn't stopped yet.

It was admitted by the early rabbis that the sectarians could be as full of good works as eggs were full of meat.

On the way to work good-hearted young girls sometimes offer me their seats, which I accept and bless them in return, a transaction satisfying to all concerned.

When you do a good turn you feel rich, even if you are broke.
