Δαφνη Ευτυχια Αρθουρος

"Most national literatures, ancient and modern, record a people's triumphs. Jewish literature records our failures, moral and spiritual. No people has been so laceratingly honest in charting its shortcomings. In Tanakh there is no one without sin.

"Believing as we do that even the greatest are merely human, we also know that even the merely human - us - can also be great. And greatness begins in the humility of recognising our failings and faults."

-- Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks (rabbisacks), 2020-09-25 ( start of thread)
