Abstract
Delegates of the Jewish youth in Germany! You have called on me to attempt an answer to your question of how community can happen. You have not called on me to give you a nice sermon; an I shall appeal to Rabbi Baruch, the grandson of the Baal-Shem, who, when a guest heard him speak and said, “Rabbi, you speak so beautifully,” replied, “I should rather be mute than speak beautifully.” …
Speech at the Convention of Jewish Youth Organizations in Germany, Munich, June 1930.
