In summary, we are not saying that everyone else was horrible and evil. We
are also not saying that we were always perfect and righteous. We've seen plenty of bad
Jews and we have made plenty of mistakes on an individual as well as national level.
However, it is clear that Judaism has contributed to humanity a moral vision, a blueprint
for an ideal world. Since antiquity, the Jewish People have stood for these six
fundamental values that comprise our vision of a perfect world.
We presented it to the world and, to a large extent, lived by it. Despite being
subjected to horrendous persecutions for centuries, we, as a people, maintained a level of
humanity and caring that usually far exceeded the surrounding civilizations that
persecuted us.
