normative Judaism as a
Christian's renunciation of
any part of the Christian
trinity.
lb be a serious Jew, one
must attempt to be commit-
ted equally to God, law, and
peoplehood. Imbalance
toward any one of these has
had terrible consequences.
Any Jewish movement or
group that has not affirmed
all three components even-
tually either changed its posi-
tion, or disappeared, or ostra-
cized itself from the rest of
Jewry.
Perhaps the most dramatic
example of this was the em-
phasis by a handful of Jews
some 2,000 years ago on God
and faith. These Jews spoke
of faith as sufficient in itself,
and dropped the law and
peoplehood components of
Judaism. These Jews founded
another religion — Chris-
tianity.
A more recent example of
this imbalanced emphasis
was Reform Judaism which
originally affirmed Judaism's
God component that denied
that the Jews were a people.
Reform Jews who continued
to uphold this view either
eventually assimilated, con-
verted to liberal Christian
denominations or isolated
themselves from the rest of
Jewry (e.g., the American
Council for Judaism). In order
to survive, Reform Judaism
changed. lbday Reform Juda-
ism affirms Judaism's people-
hood at least as much as it
does God and considerably
more than it affirms law.
At the other end of the
Jewish spectrum have been
Jews who emphasized the law
to the detriment of people-
hood and even God. So nega-
tively does normative
Judaism look upon such Jews
that the Talmud, the very
repository of Jewish law,
states that the Holy Ibmple
and the Jewish state were
destroyed — the greatest
tragedy in pre-Holocaust
Jewish history — "because
Jews adhered to the letter of
the law!" Or as the great
Chassidic Rebbe, Menachem
Mendl of Kotzk, put it, for
some Jews Halacha (Jewish
law) has become avodah
zarah, idol worship — i.e., the
law is more revered than God.
Judaism without its laws is
not Judaism. But a Judaism
that worships law is an ugly
caricature of itself. Commit-
ment to God and to His peo-
ple must be as evident in a
religious Jew's life as is his
commitment to observing the
law. That is why the great Or-
thodox Chief Rabbi of pre-
Israel Palestine, Rav Kook,
said that the Holy Temple
will be rebuilt with ahavat
khinam, causeless love. He
did not say that it would be
