You Don't Have to Be Jewish

One of the best things about driving or biking to work on Saturday is the sight of Jewish families walking to or from their synagogues. I see them and think, peace and civilization.

Wouldn't it be great if we all had to walk somewhere one day a week. Sidewalks, even in the suburbs, with people. Fewer cars. Less machinery, more conversation.

So, by one's faith. Christians: walk to church! Muslims: walk to mosque! Other believers: walk to your congregation! Agnostics: walk to a bookstore! Atheists: walk to a tavern!

The weekends would come alive.
