Quote of the week


When he saw them acclaiming the Golden Calf that they themselves had fashioned, Moses broke the Two Tablets, depriving Israel forever of the product of God’s hands. Once man deifies his own intellect, creativity, science and technology, he deserves to forfeits the manifold benefits, blessings and grace inherent in God’s law.
(Rabbi Dr Jeffrey M Cohen)
