An Aged Rabbi, Crazed With Liberalism, Once Said To Me, We Jews Are Just Ordinary Human Beings. Only A Bit More So!
If I Was A Woman, I Would Be Dressed In The Same Thing For A Month And Just Change My Hat And Gloves. Maybe My Shoes Too; Yes, I See What You Mean But, Really, It's Jewels That Change An Outfit.
I Remain Convinced That I Can Be A True Universalist Only When I Am A Better Jew.
For I Firmly Believe That Jewish Life, Indeed Any Communal Life, Can Only Be Organized According To Democratic Principles.
Norfolk Would Not Be Norfolk Without A Church Tower On The Horizon Or Round A Corner Up A Lane. We Cannot Spare A Single Norfolk Church. When A Church Has Been Pulled Down The Country Seems Empty Or Is Like A Necklace With A Jewel Missing.
If God But Cares For Our Inward And Eternal Life, If By All The Experiences Of This Life He Is Reducing It And Preparing For Its Disclosure, Nothing Can Befall Us But Prosperity. Every Sorrow Shall Be But The Setting Of Some Luminous Jewel Of Joy. Our Very Morning Shall Be But The Enamel Around The Diamond; Our Very Hardships But The Metallic Rim That Holds The Opal, Glancing With Strange Interior Fires.
