[Avodah] Gentiles in the Torah

[Micha Berger]

In a VIN editorial, I saw the following quote from RASoloveitchik's
"Logic of the Heart, Logic of the Mind":

    From the standpoint of the Torah, there can be no distinction between
    one human being and another on the basis or race or color. Any
    discrimination shown to a human being on account of the color of
    his skin constitutes loathsome barbarity. It must be conceded that
    the Torah recognized a distinction between a Jew and a non-Jew. This
    distinction, however, is not based upon race, origin or color, but
    rather upon k'dushah, the holiness endowed by having been given and
    having accepted the Torah. Furthermore, the distinction between Jew
    and non-Jew does not involve any concept of inferiority but is based
    primarily upon the unique and special burdens that are incumbent
    upon Jews.

Tir'u baTov!
