Einstein and the Rabbi Quotes

“We talked about what it means to love without judgment, to treasure something with all its imperfections. To see the beauty in the flaws, to stand in awe of the fragile, broken people we all are. That class was a night of deep compassion”
― Naomi Levy, Einstein and the Rabbi: Searching for the Soul

“The rabbis tell us the soul is a mirror of God within us. The soul fills the body, just as God fills the world. The soul outlasts the body, just as God outlasts the world. The soul is one in the body, just as God is one in the world. The soul sees but is not seen, just as God sees but is not seen.”
― Naomi Levy, Einstein and the Rabbi: Searching for the Soul

“wholeness, meaning, union, calling, God.”
― Naomi Levy, Einstein and the Rabbi: Searching for the Soul

“A human being is part of the whole, called by us “Universe,” a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. The striving to free oneself from this delusion is the one issue of true religion. Not to nourish the delusion but to try to overcome it is the way to reach the attainable measure of peace of mind.”
― Naomi Levy, Einstein and the Rabbi: Searching for the Soul
