It is easy to get lost. Many people will help you do it. There are all of these dies to choose from, none of them worth choosing. If I can keep remembering why I came here, why I came to Yeshurun, if I am not seduced or not worn down by representing these superficial sides or seduced by the welcome of a congregation, but if I can remember the sacred fringes, if I can remember that I came to help unite the flower to the bee. The fringes are everything, the borderlands are our power. The danger, I think, of liberal anything, but especially liberal religion, is that it has little place for the libertine. We already know we don't want the conservative world, but the liberal world has cul de sacs, decency and two car garages too. The liberal world in its own, often weak ways, lovingly comes to clip your wings and set you in a new type of box. To assert ones freedom, to stand on the dizzying edge, to not be lulled by believing what you want to hear, this is true liberty. I do not wish for a liberal Judaism, but for a libertine one.
