“When God, the Radical, demands that we seek peace, He demands that we radically seek radical peace…not only when it fits into the political plans of our government, nor only when it is socially safe to talk about it, nor yet to the degree to which this seems practically prudent and promising of results, but under the irresistible command of God, always, everywhere, in every way, and totally, religion must insist on, explore, and practice the ways of peace toward the attainment of peace.” – Rabbi Steven Schwarzschild, Judaism, Fall 1966.
