I am a Jew because the faith of Israel demands no abdication of my mind. I am a Jew because the faith of Israel demands every sacrifice of my soul. I am a Jew, because in all places where there are tears and suffering the Jew weeps. I am a Jew because in every age when the cry of despair is heard the Jew hopes.
