"Saya berbisik kepada Ayah selama kebaktian Rosh Hashanah, "Apakah Anda percaya pada Tuhan?" "Tidak juga," katanya. "Tidak." "Lalu mengapa kita datang ke sini?" Dia mengisap dengan hati-hati pada tablet Tums-nya dan melingkarkan lengannya di tubuhku, menggantungku di bawah selendang doa wol pengap, dan kemudian mengangkat bahu. "Aku salah sebelumnya," katanya. Dan itu cukup menyimpulkan apa yang ditemukan oleh teologi di rumah Foxman."

I whispered to Dad during Rosh Hashanah services, "Do you believe in God?" "Not really," he said. "No." "Then why do we come here?" He sucked thoughfully on his Tums tablet and put his arm around me, draping me under his musty woolen prayer shawl, and then shrugged. "I've been wrong before," he said. And that pretty much summed up what theology there was to find in the Foxman home.
