Biography and Faith
- Abstract
To the Editor:
The biography of his father and his own reaction to it by David Daiches (“My Father, and His Father,” December) is unfortunately typical of our times. One saw much of [this attitude] among the American army youth in England during the war, and it is prevalent among undergraduates and “intellectuals” in Israel. David, whom I seem to remember in his early youth, states “as always he [his father] was more at home in public than in private utterance.” . . . David lost a lot by failing to reach the intimacies which [religious faith] engenders. “Thou shall not” has much to answer for in creating the apathy which poisons the atmosphere of our moral and religious life today.
