Does anyone know if there's an ur-source of this anecdote? I recall Daniel Bell saying that when he was 12 he'd told his rabbi he couldn't go through with his bar mitzvah, as he'd read Marx and no longer believed in God. The rabbi dismissed his concerns: "Do you think He cares?" — PolitiTweet.org

I came across this quote the other day about a feisty, teenage Hannah Arendt and I can't stop thinking (and LOLing)… https://t.co/adPCb8Sww3

@DavidAvromBell Thanks for the correction. And I didn’t mean to imply Dan didn’t go through with the bar mitzvah. He dud, and the point of the story as I (mis-)remembered it was the wisdom in the rabbi’s words. — PolitiTweet.org
