had to choose one sentence to summarize the whole message

of

Buber s

life and thought

t

would be this:

Let

us dare, despite all, to trust.

Maurice Friedman

What gives Buber his imperishable greatness and makes his life symbolic is

that he steps forth as this unique man and talks directly to other persons.

HansTrub

I know of no one with a life so rich with intellectual adventures

or

one who

so strongly responded to their challenges as Martin Buber. His greatest

contribution was himself, his very being. There was magic in his personality,

richness in his soul. His sheer presence was joy.

Abraham Joshua Hesche

I remember when I first began reading Buber some commentator referred to

people like Gandhi and Schweitzer and Buber as being men

of

universal faith,

people anyone could identify with, and I do believe that in a sense Buber fits

that role.

Father Donnach Moore, S J

He

anticipated the freedom from religion, including the institutions

of

religion, in the name

of

that to which religion points. This attitude is a reason

for Buber s far-reaching influence on the secular world and particularly

on

the younger generation for which the traditional activities and assertions

of

churches and synagogues have become largely irrelev_ant.
