No Goyim? MAG

By Anonymous

     The message in David S.’s article“No Goyim?” is important, but for what platitudes does theauthor assert himself? David submits to the first stirrings of adolescentdesire, cavalierly dismissing - seemingly without attempting tounderstand - his heritage. He does not realize that within the legalframework of traditional Judaism, conviction and compassion do notclash; on the contrary, the former leads to the latter. He does notrealize that this framework is not unnecessarily restrictive, butconducive to both individual and communal interests - for what lawlesssociety has ever been able to maintain itself?

David S. clearly hasnot studied (and does not comprehend) the meaning or beauty of aTorah-true life to make an informed decision for or against it. It ishigh time he educate himself - to show his religion, at a minimum, therespect he demands be shown every other.
