Petu Chowski said he can Pray Only to something he can address a because it addresses me. And since something is not very Likely to address me we had better come out in the open and admit that we Are referring to he said that is Why the tradition Speaks of god As a person. A but How do we know that he exists in the first place a he the experience vouchsafed to us in moments of prayer May after All be an illusion or a hallucination. That is Why the tradition recognizes that god can also be approached through channels reasoning and the scientist May put Down his test tube in a moment of Radical wonder and amazement. The Mystic May Bathe in his Light during moments of illumination and the Prophet May hear his voice urging him on to the improvement of san Francisco Calif. A declaring that our Young people Are a leaving us by the droves a rabbi Gunther Plaut of Toronto told a workshop of the Reform biennial convention Here that jews can no longer stay aloof from conflict of science and religion. Quot what we face today is far More dangerous than the most unequal Battle we face an attitude of supreme disinterest a feeling that religion is not merely the inferior opponent of science but that rather that it is totally rabbi Plaut said our Young people do not find out religion relevant to the world in which science provides the foundation and the adoration of science provides All the necessary Faith Content which a Young Man needs Zarchin May get Chance at desalination again Tel Aviv a inventor Alexander Zarchin May yet get a Chance to prove his Point in israelis desalination dispute.
