Neither have they been saved from all personality problems, as the founders of the kibbutz movement had hoped when they freed children from their parents.

  • Indeed, the sort of crimes and even the amount of delinquency that fill the prophets of Israel with dismay do not go beyond that which we regard as normal, as typical ingredients of social dynamics. To us a single act of injustice--cheating in business, exploitation of the poor--is slight; to the prophets, a disaster. To us injustice is injurious to the welfare of the people; to the prophets it is a deathblow to existence: to us, an episode; to them, a catastrophe, a threat to the world.

    Abraham Joshua Heschel (1969). “The Prophets”
