Judaism Doesn't Fit in a Box"What is the goal of Judaism?" I began. "I’m going to answer that in just a moment," Rabbi Stern replied. "But since you were kind enough to share the questions with me beforehand, I would like to make a few comments on your questions. The first is, while you’re asking all of these questions of each religious group — and that’s an appropriate way of dealing with these issues so you can have a process of comparison — the fact is that what you’re doing is boxing every religion into the same mold. I want to make you aware of the fact, from the outset, that Judaism doesn’t quite fit the box you’ve put out." "That’s fine," I said, and encouraged him to help me find a better way to proceed. "I will answer your questions and try to give you the areas of comparison," Rabbi Stern went on, "but I want you to understand from the outset that what will emerge will be a stilted configuration of Judaism." |
