God Is A Writer And We Are

As Long As People Will Shed The Blood Of Innocent Creatures There Can Be No Peace, No Liberty, No Harmony Between People. Slaughter And Justice Cannot Dwell Together.

One Can Find In The Yiddish Tongue And In The Yiddish Spirit Expressions Of Pious Joy, Lust For Life, Longing For The Messiah, Patience And Deep Appreciation Of Human Individuality.

We All Play Chess With Fate As Partner. He Makes A Move, We Make A Move. He Tries To Checkmate Us In Three Moves, We Try To Prevent It. We Know We Can't Win, But We're Driven To Give Him A Good Fight.

But If We Have People Who Have The Power To Tell A Story, There Will Always Be Readers.

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.
