| Quotation | Lax brought down the proofs of [Abraham] Heschel's God and Man - which looks very interesting. A Hasid, from Warsaw, teaching in the Jewish Theological Seminary in N.Y. In the introduction-a remarkable sentence: As an answer, religion becomes not only false but meaningless and irrelevant as soon as the question by which it is evoked no longer represents a challenge. A good starting point for a 3 day private retreat. |
