Just in time for Yom Kippur, my gifted friend Dov Fischer, Rabbi of Young Israel of Orange County, and an accomplished appellate attorney to boot, writes movingly on the Jewish concept of prayer, appropriately enough in the Jewish World Review.
"Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence."
--John Adams, 'Argument in Defense of the Soldiers in the Boston Massacre Trials,' December 1770.
