People who criticize power in the Jewish community are regarded the way Ahab treated Elijah: You're a traitor.

Working with the Jewish community is essential to me and what I stand for.

The Jewish community has always taken care of its own.

As a Zionist youth leader in the 1940s, I was among those who called for a binational state in Mandatory Palestine. When a Jewish state was declared, I felt that it should have the rights of other states - no more, no less.

Since 1985, I have written about contemporary Jewish practice and the Jewish community.

Chemistry, until my childhood, not that long ago, was regarded as a calculating device. Because you couldn't reduce to physics. So it's just some way of calculating the result of experiments. The Bohr atom was treated that way.
