to judaism work ethics is not. you can care about other people and the any religion or no religion, but no one who prays in hebrew is in jewish are very very few, so i wonder if in an attempt to sort of grab the empyrean we are not losing something of the everydayness that also maintains places like this. guest: you are correct. host: that's enough. >> no, no, no. [laughter] guest: the jews have specifically a certain way of eating, of that meeting end up speaking. hebrew for example is crucial and when i say i am a little jew, i mean, between other things that i am so disappointed at myself to be still so so remote, so boring to the language, but i don't agree to say that everyone-- i don't think this concern of the other is common to all religions. at least, let's say in another way. i do believe that there is a real jewish way, very specific, comparable to nothing else to leave under the shadow of the other or to put his own chatter on the other end to commence with the text. the christian command, the muslims c

i wonder why you chose to begin a book about the genius of judaism instead of talking about judaism itself. >> it is the best question to start with. let me say first of all how happy i am toob -- to be here. i said it to a group for us. for me to be hosted in this place, in this wilshire temple is more than a joy. it is a great honor and it was a dream of my life. it is my dream to be here, to sit here and have this honor to speak in this place which is such a denial of the stupid theory of the opposition between jewishness and hawk, which is such a more complicated thing than what say some of our enemies. such a treat, such a joy, and such an honor to be here with rabbi david wolpe who is, in america, an anglo saxon world in general a legend. and i am really honored to be here on this stage sharing it with rabbi wolpe. [applause] >> so, to your question, it is a question which i ask myself when i began the writing of this book. it is true that the jew has not come into this world to discuss an an an anti symptemitissemitism. to try to understand the reasons is something absurd and disgus

i don't believe in judaism. which is the content are happy with living a jewish life with great rhythm the great task of ordering and asking escorting the nations. >> before we take questions and i will take questions next what you remind me of is that you say in this book that the great division is not between orthodox in non- orthodox. it's between thinking jews and non- thinking jews. walking with the students. they don't ask questions anymore. they walked on for a minute and said one of the student said how students and how do i know i'm not dead. and he said because you ask. so how do you see that and make that between who is a thinking and who's not and i'm asking that seriously without being at all facetious or funny because some of us are non- thinking jews but if we hear your thinking we will rethink our nonthinking nest. >> this is a correct question. i am so angry when i hear my religion i should check to the jewish life is to be frank so i don't belong to the world of the men in black. i don't belong
