“Judah Friedlander, I'm ok with you being the world champion for a few years more. That's a hook with legs. But I think he should make one more hat, that says 'there's a limit to how funny words on a hat can be'. And then move to a chapeau.”

Source: Moses Mendelssohn: Writings on Judaism, Christianity, and the Bible
“Judaism calls for us to honor the rhythm of human life, the demands of the human community around us, the call of the divine order as the filter and scale for the decisions that drive our own small lives. We do not rule the universe, Judaism reminds us. God does. We are not its standard or its norms. We are only its keepers, its agents, its stewards. To do right by the universe at large is the measure of a happiness framed with the entire cosmos in mind but lived in microcosms across time.”

having once acted as the leaven of the social world, is destined to be resurrected
with the rest of civilized nations.”

For instance, when I went to Sunday school, I remember learning more about Jewish history than about God. So, once again, that doesn't mean there's anything wrong with the Jewish religion, it just means that sometimes people are not fed the mystical food - the spiritual food - of their own religious background.”
“Judaism, Christianity, Islam, all of these are branches, the root is love and that's where I went. I went straight to the root, I forgot the branches and I went straight to the root so that is how I see it, that is after I said of research and study and going through different phases of mental evolution, mental and consciousness evolution, not just believing in a book, believing in a certain idea, being willing to think for yourself and formulate your own ideas.”

“Judas jau nebėra vardas, bet šūksnis. Judas jau nebėra žodis, bet pasibaisėjimo mostas. Dėl to, kad jis išdavė bučiuodamas. Savo lūpomis jis pamelavo visai ypatingu būdu. Jis išrado melą ir savo išradimui pagelbėti pasirinko priemonę daug labiau išvidinę, negu žodis. Pabučiavimas yra pažadas daug aukštesnis už žodį. Jis pažada neišduoti. Jis pažada elgtis priešingai. Pabučiavimas yra ištikimybės ženklas. Tuo tarpu Judas jį pasirinko savo išdavimo ženklu.”
