“Halakha, as the human way of life in accordance with the Torah, does not aim at absolute truth, nor does it run after the fata- morgana of universal truth. Neither of them is accessible to human beings. Its aim is “earthly truth” that the human intellect is able to grasp and for whose pursuance in life man must accept personal responsibility.”
Eliezer Berkovits, Not in Heaven: The Nature and Function of Halakha

“We are dealing here not with the dogmas of a church, but rather with events that for thousands of years have exercised the most powerful influence in the history of a living people. Jewish children were not taught: 'These are the things we Jews believe in', but 'These are the things that happened to us and made us what we are”
Eliezer Berkovits, God, Man and History

“No doubt, God took a risk with creation by granting it consciousness and free decision.”
Eliezer Berkovits, God, Man and History
