The Jews are not a historical people

And not even an archaeological people, the Jews

Are a geological people ...

And what about God? Once we sang

"There is no God like ours," now we sing, "There is no God of ours"

But we sing. We still sing.

 

(poem by Yehuda Amichai, from "The Jews")

Beyond Belief:
The Ethics of Memory 
 
The Israeli poet, Amichai, asks:
 
Who will remember the rememberers?
 
Is a sense of belonging to a people that remembers sufficient to preserve
the institution of memory?
 
Or does memory require a commitment that can only come from belief?
