and have a good hold on
what I perceive as right
and wrong. I always try to
hold true to my beliefs.
Furthermore, I try not to
judge others based on
their differences. If any-
thing, I revere people for
being different.
It is easy to love some-
one who is the same as
oneself. It takes open-
mindedness and compas-
sion to love someone who
is different. Perhaps if
more people could
appreciate, rather than
scorn, each others'
differences, we could find
some harmony An this
world. ❑

all members of the same
Jewish family. True, all
these denominations have
different ideologies, but
maybe we should stop to
consider that not one, but
all, are right. There is no
superior way to worship,
no one true way to pray.
I do not attend syna-
gogue on a regular basis.
In fact, I go about four
times a year. I usually do
not fast on Yom Kippur,
and I eat bread on
Passover. Some people
would regard me as less of
a person and less of a Jew
for these reasons. I don't
mind.
I believe strongly in God

here is no need to
retain the defensive,
provincial assumption
of conflict between science
and Torah. One does not
necessarily contradict the
other.
With a certain degree of
understanding, we can
realize the extent to which
science complements
Torah and vice versa.
They tell the same story
in different ways. Where
science is direct, Torah is
vague. Where Torah is
specific (on the spiritual
nature of creation), sci-
ence shies away.
The development of the
scientific method during
the Middle Ages sparked
an age of hereticalness.
People were persecuted
for asking blasphemous
questions like: Is the
Earth the center of the
universe? Is man a unique
being or simply an
advanced monkey?
These questions contin-
ued to fascinate man in
later centuries. Much of
Victorian poetry was
devoted to deliberating
the role of God in creation
and the seemingly obvious
contradictions between
science and Genesis.
In Orthodox Judaism,
there are widely contra-
dictory views about recon-
ciling science and Torah.
According to Rabbi David
Shepherd, who teaches at
Akiva Hebrew Day School,
there are three categories
of belief.
"There are those who
learn science and attempt
Jonathan Kantor,
to bend the Torah to their
understanding," he said.
"There are those who
learn both science and
Torah and attempt to jus-
tify them both, and there
are those who learn Torah
and to whom science is
secondary."
It seems that we cannot,
in good conscience, deny
either science or Torah.
They must both be consid-
ered. In the words of
Rabbi Eliezer Cohen from
Akiva:
"If one accepts that reli-
gious traditions are true
and one accepts the scien-
tific method of discovery,
how can one say that one
truth contradicts another?
They must be able to be
reconciled."
