Introduction, Part VI, "Brit Shalom" by Rabbi Oury Cherki

We do not possess a sense of arrogant superiority, but rather bear the responsibility of repairing the world.

Introduction, part 1, "Brit Shalom" by Rabbi Oury Cherki

There is a tremendous struggle today over the question of the values by which we should live our lives. In other words, contemporary struggles differ from those of the past. Today, the battle is not about power and who controls, exploits, or oppresses. Instead, the struggles are about which values we should follow. Are they the values of liberal Western democracy, the values of Islam, or the values of Eastern spirituality? This struggle is commonly referred to today as the clash of civilizations. The primary battle is between the various facets of the Western world and the Islamic world.
