The topic we are going to address is Money and Contemporary Life. I’d like to begin by quoting from Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities:

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way…”

A Tale of Two Cities discusses the presence of polar opposites. When it comes to the subject of money in our time, and money in Orthodox Jewish life, I think we can fairly say, “It’s the best of times, it’s the worst of times…”
