A few weeks back I asked readers of the blog and NJJN to describe what Judaism means to them in exactly seven words. (The inspiration was writer Michael Pollan’s advice for healthy eating: “Eat food. Mostly plants. Not too much.”)

In this week’s paper we printed some of the best responses:

“Continue writing our story, for mankind’s benefit.”
- Daniel Treiman, Brooklyn

“Torah. A way of life. Read. Learn.” - Ruth J. Abramowitz, Asbury Park

“‘Know before Whom you stand.’- Pirkei Avot” (serious)
and “Enemies conspired. Failed! Let’s pray…and
eat” (humorous).”- Harry Glazer, Highland Park

“Earn the world’s riches. Give them away.” - Regina
Thomas, Tinton Falls

“Live, regret, discuss, ask God’s forgiveness, repeat.”- Stephen Carroll, Hastings, NY

“Food, family, and the pursuit of specialists” and “Invite four. Be prepared to feed 40.” - Laverne H. Bardy, Newton

“Do unto others. Get off my foot!” - Larry Yudelson, Teaneck

“Hebrew school after bar mitzva? No, thanks.”- Ron Kaplan, Montclair

“Make your world a little better place”- Shari Tosk Solarski, Aberdeen
