Quotes by Kerry M. Olitzky (?)

“Humility is a key to recovery and renewal. When humanity entered the modern era, we thought that we were in control of the world. No need for a Higher Power of any sort. We were our own “masters of the universe.” Eventually we discovered how very wrong we were. Some came to this recognition on their own. For others, it was the voyage from active addiction to recovery”

“thought outside the religious realm. 3. Jewish values, particularly because they are often manifest in concrete ways, are of particular interest to those in the marketplace of ideas. 4. For Jewish thought to speak to the masses, it has to be accessible and cannot remain hidden within the walls of Jewish communal institutions. 5.

“participation, such as insider language or the high cost of Jewish life. 7. An inclusive Jewish community takes Jewish life out to where people are, rather than waiting for them to enter Jewish communal institutions, and helps them answer for themselves, why be Jewish? 8. An inclusive Jewish community includes a coalition of organizations that offer the entire gamut of Jewish life and lets the users decide the priorities of the community, rather than each institution trying to be all things to all people. 9. Participants in an inclusive Jewish community are passionately committed to sharing it with newcomers and are willing to work to improve it and nurture its growth for the future. 10. Programs and ideas that work to grow an inclusive Jewish community are open source and shared among all individuals and organizations interested in a more vibrant Judaism and Jewish community.”
