"What is a Jew? .....What kind of unique creature is this whom all the rulers of all the nations of the world have disgraced and crushed and expelled and destroyed, persecuted, burned and drowned, and who, despite their anger and their fury, continues to live and to flourish? What is this Jew whom they have never succeeded in enticing with all the enticements in the world, whose oppressors and persecutors only suggested that he deny (and disown) his religion and cast aside the faithfulness of his ancestors?!
"The Jew -- is the symbol of eternity ..... He is the one who for so long had guarded the prophetic message and transmitted it to all mankind. A people such as this can never disappear.
"The Jew is eternal. He is the embodiment of eternity." |
