Re: What does your religion (or lack there of) bring to your life? -

My religion (Chassidut AKA Orthodox Judaism) is what I believe to be the truth. It provides me with wisdom and with happiness. It motivates me and inspires me. It gives me purpose and pleasure. I am very glad to have found the gem of my religion (I used to be a Christian).
I swear never to be silent whenever wherever human beings are enduring suffering and humiliation. We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant. Wherever men and women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must — at that moment — become the center of the universe.
