All Is Foreseen But The Choice Is

Doubt Is Part Of All Religion. All The Religious Thinkers Were Doubters.

Every Creator Painfully Experiences The Chasm Between His Inner Vision And Its Ultimate Expression.

The Truth Is That What The Great Religions Preached, The Yiddish-speaking People Of The Ghettos Practiced Day In And Day Out. They Were The People Of The Book In The Truest Sense Of The Word. They Knew Of No Greater Joy Than The Study Of Man And Human Relations, Which They Called Torah, Talmud, Mussar, Cabala.

Children Read Books, Not Reviews. They Don't Give A Hoot About Critics.

I Have Heard From My Father And Mother All The Answers That Faith In God Could Offer To Those Who Doubt And Search For The Truth. In Our Home And In Many Other Homes The Eternal Questions Were More Actual Than The Latest News In The Yiddish Newspaper. In Spite Of All The Disenchantments And All My Skepticism I Believe That The Nations Can Learn Much From Those Jews, Their Way Of Thinking, Their Way Of Bringing Up Children, Their Finding Happiness Where Others See Nothing But Misery And Humiliation.
