Meir Soloveichik

Marriage is about love, but it is not first and foremost about love. First and foremost, marriage is about continuity and transmission.

Corresponding to the image of a monotheistic God is monogamous marriage. Marriage based on exclusive and definitive love becomes the icon of the relationship between God and his people and vice versa.

Jews focus on the Torah, the embodiment of God's will; Christians, on an embodied God.

The whole essence of the Christian religion is based on the atonement of Christ, his death and his resurrection.

Empathy is born out of the old biblical injunction 'Love the neighbor as thyself.'

Nothing that is worth doing can be achieved in a lifetime; therefore we must be saved by hope.
