Quotes by Stephen M. Wylen (?)

“On the points of one triangle we place God, Torah, and Israel. On the points of the other triangle we place the deeds of Creation, Revelation, and Redemption. God creates the world, and God places the people Israel in this world to fulfill the purpose of God’s Creation. God reveals the Torah, the word of God, to the people so that they will know what to do in God’s service. This is Revelation. By observing the Torah, the people Israel bring Redemption to the world. When Israel succeeds in this mission the star will be complete.”

“Modern people often think of the Middle Ages as a time of great oppression and suffering for Jews. This view needs to be modified. It is true that the Jews often owed heavy dues to their rulers and were treated as a class rather than as individuals, but this is true of all people in feudal society. When Jews were oppressed in one place, they were able to move to another. Wherever Jews settled, they went by invitation, and at least initially they were welcomed. It was only as the feudal system began to fall apart and a class of Christians arose that wished to compete economically against the Jews that the Jews began to suffer as a group.”
