Donniel Hartman: Putting God Second Book Talk With Shaul Magid, June 29, 2016, at the Hartman Summer 2016 Community Leadership Retreat Program, Jerusalem, Israel, Shalom Hartman Institute
Doniel gives us the courage to try to do "a" goodwithout fear that G-d will pounce on us. That if we try to be decent G-d will not terrorize us if it turns out we fell short.
I love this dialogue - so much - but I do have a problem with the critique Syria, critique us part . . . I think I get the point, but when the 'critique' first of all, has wandered from critique into a clear manic vitriole, when it has escalated into a fervour, and when the disproportion between extreme focus on Israel and extreme levels of turning the other cheek in almost all other instances around the globe, I find it very very difficult to assume the 'critic' is truly not something else.
