“If God never gave me one more thing in my life, then you, right now, would be enough. You are my Dayeinu”
S. Khubiar, The Eagle and the Child: The Child

Joseph Telushkin
“An important feature of good characterization in a novel is that the characters are dimensionalized and are not all of one piece. Human beings, as Singer noted, have contradictions.”
Joseph Telushkin, Hillel: If Not Now, When?
