These words are symbolic of the Yehudi's life and are the most fitting for its close; for of all of the characters
in this novel,
deeply religious though they are, it is only he who has declared God's oneness, only he who has refused to work for redemption with external means and who has refused to accept a division of the
world between God and the devil or a redemption that is
anything less
than the redemption of all evil and the recognition of God as the only power
in the universe.
Independence Requires Attachment More
than anything in the
world, children need to be
deeply attached to their parents to grow into independent, responsible, and mature human beings.
