There is no ultimate other in our religious tradition; all are beloved children of God, and all deserve the care, concern, and compassion of every human being. -- Katharine Jefferts Schori, former Presiding Bishop and Primate of the Episcopal Church of the United States For a basic introduction to anti-Semitism past and present, the first place to turn is now Rabbi Evan Moffic's First the Jews. -- Jonathan D. Sarna, Chief Historian, National Museum of American Jewish History
