Jonathan Tropper Quote
Once, when I was old enough to ponder these things and young enough to think there might be credible answers, I whispered to Dad during Rosh Hashanah services, Do you believe in God? Not really, he said. No. Then why do we come here? He sucked thoughtfully on his Tums tablet and put his arm around me, draping me under his musty woolen prayer shawl, and then shrugged. I’ve been wrong before, he said. And that pretty much summed up what theology there was to find in the Foxman home.
