 We
live in a risk averse society and the weak and sick are
suffering, is the theory of Rabbi Julia Neuberger. By Peter
Gruner
JULIA Neuberger might not be here today if Britain had
not accepted her mother as a refugee, desperate and without
a home, fleeing the tyranny of Nazi Germany.
Her mother was taken in by a caring non-Jewish family, who
despite fear of lack of approval from the community, thought
it “the decent, civilised thing to do”, Dame Neuberger
writes in her new book the Moral State We’re in.
She argues that the treatment of the weak and vulnerable
has long been a way to judge a society.
