"Where Jewish education is neglected, the whole content of Judaism is reduced to merely an awareness of anti-Semitism. Judaism ceases them to be a civilization, and becomes a complex." ~~ Mordechai Kaplan
"To hate Israel is to hate God…To rise against Israel is to rise against God…To help Israel is to help God." ~~ Sifre Num., #84
"Just as anti-Semitism drives the weak, the cowardly and the materialistic Jew into Christianity, so its pressure has strengthened my own Judaism powerfully within me." ~~ Theodore Herzl
