Quote

Judaism is in all my books.

I love religions and find them fascinating, and I find Judaism very beautiful. It's enriched my life enormously.

I find its attention to living this life rather than the next one exhilarating because I think even independently of Judaism that that's the right way to go about life.

Judaism for me is a sensibility of collective self-questioning and uncomfortable truth-telling. I feel a debt of responsibility to this past. It is why I am Jewish.

Judaism is a brilliant religion, and the main function of Judaism is to learn and read.

Torah values are the ones that inform my life.

Judaism to me, as badly as I practiced it, what I've always loved about it was its total embrace of complexity, its admission of unknowability.

Working with the Jewish community is essential to me and what I stand for.

Jews focus on the Torah, the embodiment of God's will; Christians, on an embodied God.

Judaism is interesting in that there is something there that I think you just can't understand if you're not a Jew - it moves into a realm of true mystery.
