Dennis Prager writes in Moment (link from Rabbi Gil Student):
- The Jews are the Chosen People.
- Just as people need an instruction manual for a camera, they need an instruction manual on how to lead a good, holy and meaningful life. Judaism provides the best one ever written: the Torah.
- The Torah is a divine document.
- Judaism is a religion of moderation.
- Judaism provides immense joy. No religion provides such continuous joy-filled moments as Judaism. I am referring to the weekly celebration of Shabbat and the frequent holidays. Every week I look forward to Shabbat in a way unknowable to non-Jews or Jews who do not celebrate the Sabbath.
- Judaism provides meaning.
- Judaism provides community. Whether on Shabbat or on holidays, whether in joy—the birth of a child, a wedding—or in crisis or mourning, our religion does not allow us to be alone.
- Judaism is uniquely preoccupied with good and evil.
- Judaism is concerned with the present world.
- Judaism allows, even encourages, a Jew to argue with God.
