"Early on in Sunday school or catechism class, we learned the Golden Rule: "Always treat others as you would like them to treat you." Yet our melancholy marriages, dysfunctional families, splintered churches, and loveless neighborhoods indicate that we have not learned well.
'Learning by heart' is another matter entirely. The rhythm of relentless tenderness in the Rabbi's heart makes loving terribly personal, terribly immediate, and terribly urgent."
