“That peoples can no longer carry on authentic dialogue with one another is not only the most
acute symptom of the pathology of our time, it is also that which most urgently makes a demand of us.
I believe, despite all, that the peoples in this hour can enter into dialogue, into a genuine dialogue with one another.
In a genuine dialogue each of the partners, even when he stands in opposition
to the other, heeds, affirms, and confirms his opponent as an existing other.”
― Martin Buber, Jewish theologian,
Tomorrow marks the anniversary of his death in 1965...
