Judaism is not liberal and it is not conservative; it is Jewish. But this is the
beginning of the matter, not the end. For Judaism is immense and various: it
holds within itself an oceanic plenitude of opinions and tendencies, developed
over 2,000 years of philosophical and legal deliberation, and they do not all go
together. To say that a view is Jewish is to claim a provenance more than an
essence.
