Sublime

Rabbi Irving “Yitz” Greenberg, all human beings are endowed with three “intrinsic dignities”: infinite worth, equality, and uniqueness.10

(kol Yisrael arevim ze bazeh, “All Israelites are responsible for one another,” Shevuot 39a). But it may be that being human also involves collective responsibility. Not only are Jews responsible for one another – so are we all, regardless of our faith or lack of it.

Hashem loves righteousness and justice, the objective of both being the bringing of balance to this world.

In the fall of 1945, I began to study chemistry at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem (the only university in Palestine). In Jerusalem, I also took an active part in the Haganah. Man-to-man combat training was conducted in one of the schools in the city, while the police station at the seminary in Beit Hakerem served as a base for rifle training.
