(((I Will Outlive)))

“Jewish history and world history grind me between them like two grindstones, sometimes to a powder. And the solar year and the lunar year get ahead of each other or fall behind, leaping, they set my life in perpetual motion. Sometimes I fall into the gap between them to hide, or to sink all the way down.”

“Not everyone understands the spirituality of Judaism. That to be chosen is not to be superior. Not to be arrogant. On the contrary, it is to be humble, and responsible for others. I say [it means] to take our own history and convert it into kindness.”
