Remembering MLK

A converted neo-con gives an Orthodox spin on the infamous I have a dream speech

With my apologies to Dr King.

I have a dream that someday, the son of an FFB and the daughter of a BT can marry without scandal.

I have a dream that one day a man can choose to spend his life dedicated to his profession and to being Koveai itim LaTorah, supporting Tzedaka and good deeds, without being judged deficient.

I have a dream that one day, a young frum woman's worth will be judged by the strength of her Middos and the power of her intelligence, not the monetary support her parents can provide.

I have a dream that some day a man will be judged by the content of his character, not the color of his hat.

I have a dream that someday, even Bnei Barak, a city sweltering with religious intolerance and injustice, will become a model of Orthodox Haskafic diversity.

I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the Jewish dream.

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "Elo Velo Divrei Elokim Chaim."
