He wrote: I am a Jew because , born of Israel and having lost her, I have felt her live again in me, more living than myself. I am a Jew because, born of Israel and having regained  her, I wish her to live after me, more living than in myself. I am a Jew because the faith of Israel demands of me no abdication of the mind. I am a Jew because the faith of Israel requires of me all the devotion of my heart. I am a Jew because in every place where suffering weeps, the Jew weeps. I am a Jew because at every time when despair cries out, the Jew hopes. I am a Jew because the word of Israel is the oldest and the newest. I am a Jew because the the promise of Israel is the universal promise. I am a Jew because, for Israel, the world is not yet completed: men are completing it. I am a Jew because, for Israel, Man is not created: men are creating him. I am a Jew because, above the nations and Israel, Israel places Man and his unity. I am a Jew because, above Man, image of the divine Unity, Israel places the divine Unity, and its divinity. from WHY I AM A JEW  by Edmond Fleg     for my grandson who is yet to be born  E.F. P.S. His two sons died in the 2nd world war, he never would have a grandson.    Report
