Every time we fail to live up to the true ideals of Judaism and let bein adam l’chaveiro fall by the wayside, atheists throw a log into their verbal bonfire. But when we treat others with heartfelt respect, compassion, comradery, and concern – whether Jewish or not – we have the ability to pour water on it.
