“Only once does the Hebrew Bible command us to love our neighbour. Yet on thirty-six times, it commands us to love the stranger. A neighbour is one we love because he or she is like us. A stranger is one we are taught to love precisely because he or she is not like us. Throughout this fascinating book, Michael shows his love for the ‘stranger’ and his passion for opening the doors of America to the world.”

—Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks, Chief Rabbi, United Kingdom
