  • Jewish Ideas:

    Judaism is about love. It is a misrepresentation, that it is only a religion of law. I have never understood the centuries of hatred of Jews. May love prevail over the hatred in this war and the ongoing discrimination against Jews. It's absurd, horrifying, this suffering, this killing.
