JUDAISM

“The Golden Age of Humanity is not in the past, but in the future; and all human children are destined to help establish the kingdom of God on earth . ”Isaiah II and XI “… The return of man to God and the restoration of paradise on earth require… a revival of devotion to duty, an effort within everyone's ability…” Samson Raphael Hirsch "When we think about suffering in the world ... we know that is not the way the world should be. It is not what God intended for us. Judaism teaches us not to accept the status quo and never give up our dreams for a better world. ” Melinda Ribner: Judaism for the modern world “We are not waiting for some great revelation from above that will save us from our incompetence as guardians of this world and fix everything. Rather, we are waiting for the sun to rise above everything we have done, to see the fruits of our efforts thrive in an eternal spring. ” Rabbi Menachem m. Schneerson
