Excerpt from The Adequacy of Judaism
"Have I been a wilderness to Israel, or a land of deep darkness? Wherefore say My people: We are broken loose, we will come no more unto Thee?" - Jeremiah 2, 31.
In various circles nowadays we find discontent with Judaism. It shows itself either in indifference or hostility to our ancestral religion, or in actual defection from it. At first blush, we are apt to regard it as an entirely new occurrence in Israel; but the student of history knows better. Such discontent has appeared among us, frequently, from earliest times. Moses knew it; Samuel knew it; and so did every subsequent prophet.
Perhaps the most poignant reference to such discontent and desertion we find in the pages of Jeremiah.
