There Is No Role I Cannot Play

For I Firmly Believe That Jewish Life, Indeed Any Communal Life, Can Only Be Organized According To Democratic Principles.

While We All Could Agree That The Zionist Ideal Is Alive And Well, There Is Serious Doubt Whether The Zionist Movement Can Be Said To Be An Ongoing Proposition, Fragmented As Its Components Are In Ideology And In Practice.

No Movement Can Afford To Be Caught In A Time Warp And Exist In A State Of Suspended Animation.

In My World, History Comes Down To Language And Art. No One Cares Much About What Battles Were Fought, Who Won Them And Who Lost Them - Unless There Is A Painting, A Play, A Song Or A Poem That Speaks Of The Event.

I Know For Certain Of Only One Commandment, One Obligation, That God Imposes Upon Us, And That Is To Be Compassionate Toward Other Human Beings.
