Somewhere, in the Talmud, a rabbi says that those who wait also serve. It's a very generous view. Whether he meant that they serve God's interests or the interests of justice, it gives one hope.
The same rabbi (maybe R. Tarpon?) also said, It may not be up to you to finish the task, but it is up to you to begin it.
I feel I've made a good beginning at recovering the very Jewish Jesus. It will be up to others to finish the job.
I find all this waiting very hard to do.
