Who can say we've actually left?

Do you live in a place where some people work 2 or 3 jobs to feed their children, and others don't even have a job? Black people are 5 times as likely to be incarcerated as whites.

Infant mortality in the black community is twice as high as for whites.

America is a golden land, and for Jews, it has been an ark of refuge. But it has not yet fulfilled its promise.

The same is true for that other Promised Land. Jewish citizens of Israel have median household incomes almost double that of Arab citizens. Israel represents the greatest miracle in Jewish life in 2000 years -- and yet its promise is also unfulfilled.

It is impossible to love the stranger as much as we love our own kin, but aren't we still commanded to bring everyone out of Egypt?
