Judaism lives not in an abstract creed, but in its institutions.

I've always enjoyed the communal side of Jewish life.

The Jewish world is becoming fully integrated with the ideas of the normal world. They feed off each other.

Judaism is much more communal, and partly as a consequence of my religious switch, I am increasingly more suspicous of my previous view that what people do in the privacy of their own home is their business alone.

The Jewish community has always taken care of its own.

A Jewish community that is diverse and openly embraces all who seek to lead actively Jewish lives will be a Jewish community that is stronger and more enduring for generations to come.

Jewish existence in the Land of Israel depends only on the Jews, and on what the Jews think of themselves.

During the Middle Ages, Jews were members of a semi-independent polity within a larger polity.

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

Jews know this in their bones. Our community could not exist for a day without its volunteers. They are the lifeblood of our organizations, whether they involve welfare, youth, education, care of the sick and elderly, or even protection against violence and abuse.
