Additional quotes by Itzhak Peretz

[About Jews] Sheer egotism compels us to the purest love of mankind as a whole.... Our hearts are like a sponge, receptive to all the newest humanitarian ideas; and our sympathy goes out to all the unfortunate, all the oppressed.

We are more than a people.... We are of a pure blood.

At the Throne of Glory it is not the nobly-born that are beloved, but the nobly-risen.
