The Error of Modern Representatives of Religion

The error of modern representatives of religion is thatUntitled-1 they promise their congregants the solution to all the problems of life – an expectation that religion does not fulfill.

Religion, on the contrary, deepens the problems but never intends to solve them.

The grandeur of religion lies in its mysterium tremendum, its magnitude, and its ultimate incomprehensibility”

Harav Joseph Dov Soloveitchik, Hazedek (1945)
