@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

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

From what turned out to be Martin Luther King Jr's final speech, April 3, 1968. "I've been to the mountaintop...I've seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land." https://t.co/b4PNwH8QCw — PolitiTweet.org
