"What it expressed is that civic peace demands more than tolerance, a live-and-let-live attitude to those not like us. Darkhei shalom is an active mandate not a passive one, doing good to others and thereby showing that the threads of our common humanity, with their variegated colours, are part of the social fabric we weave together. At a time of tension between resurgent ethnic and religious minorities, it is an idea whose time has come again."
- Jonathan Sacks
