Essay on the messianic role of the Jewish people in Human affairs from the darkest days of the Holocaust. ĀIsrael, therefore, was chosen for a mission of service to the rest of the world. The teachers of Israel felt that their people had raised religion to a new power and significance, and that in the Torah they possessed a body of truth which would prove invaluable for the worldās moral and religious progress. They never arrogated to themselves, however, the credit for being the creators of the Torah. Rather they regarded it as a gift vouchsafed to them by divine revelation. Ā (page 244) . ĀBen-Zion Bokser (July 4, 1907 ā 1984) was one of the major Conservative rabbis of the United Statesā¦. Bokser argued that Christian antisemitism had desensitized Germans to the heinous character of Nazi propagandaā¦. He stressed the Rabbinic sages and the Talmud as the source of Judaism. ĀThis is not an uncommon impression and one finds it sometimes among Jews as well as Christians - that Judaism is the religion of the Hebrew Bible. It is, of course, a fallacious impression. . . Judaism is not the religion of the Bibleā (Judaism and the Christian Predicament, New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1967, p. 59) . Similar to Heschel, Bokser affirms revelation and even the special status of Sinai, but revelation is always framed in humans by man. ĀMan receives a divine communication when the divine spirit rests on him, but man must give form to that communication; He must express it in words, in images and in symbols which will make his message intelligible to other men. Out of this need to give form to the truth that is revealed to him, the prophet places the stamp of his own individuality upon that truth. Āā (Wikipedia) .
