Jews are just like everyone else, only more so.

During the Second World War, evacuated to non-Jewish households, I encountered Christianity at home and in school.

I still go to a Christian priory for retreats.

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

My mother was a modern woman with a limited interest in religion. When the sun set and the fast of the Day of Atonement ended, she shot from the synagogue like a rocket to dance the Charleston.

Praying privately in churches, I began to discover that heaven was my true home and also that it was here and now, woven into this life.

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