Great article on the relationship between Jewish and L.D.S. people, showing the many beliefs and practices that unite us. I especially loved the quote by Robert Abrams, the former New York attorney general, in the complete article on lds.org, linked at the bottom of this article:
“Each has a fundamental focus on family, each place a very high value on education, each has a strong commitment to charitable giving, each demonstrates humanitarian concern and response when there are international catastrophes such as earthquakes, hurricanes and tsunamis around the globe, each has a history of disproportionate success due to ability, hard work and determination and each has been subjected to fierce persecution and prejudice.”
A good foundation for building an ever closer relationship in the days ahead.

Finding and sharing common respect and ground with other faiths, especially with the one which is our foundation, is such a valuable thing. May we share such things in our local areas, as members and stakes and wards? And please be aware of www.mormonsandjews.org which seeks to develop understanding, respect, and strengthened faith through that understanding.
