Quote by Jonathan Sacks

We believe that what we possess we don't ultimately own. God is merely entrusting it to us. And one of the conditions of that trust is that we share what we have with those who have less. So, if you don't give to people in need, you can hardly call yourself a Jew. Even the most unbelieving Jew knows that.

We believe that what we possess we don't ultimately own. God

Summary

The statement also highlights the importance of giving to people in need, implying that one's identity as a member of a specific faith or community should be reflected in such actions.
