I am supposed to question the tenets of my faith? And question my politics? Why would I want to do that? I am a practicing and believing Jew and a Conservative. I don't question either. I worked all that out years ago.

There is one thing the history of the Jewish people has proven - the self-questioning never ends. My, has there ever been a people so doubtful of themselves and of God!? If Jews quit agonizing over the meaning of their identity and take merely to blindly defending it, something has gone wrong in the equation of Jewishness. We need to reform Judaism and Zionism so that the warmth of the Jewish people stretches out like a light to all nations. Only until we are all of Israel will there be peace in the world. Does not the Torah teach this? Now how is that going to happen?

That is the real way that we can help "Israel," by answering that question: how will all people of the world be brought into the spiritual "nation of Israel" and be given the hope of God's covenant?
