Regarding the song “And the Truth”
Question
Hello Rabbi,
See the song at the link—it seems to me like something you’d enjoy (the lyrics are at the link).
What do you think of the lyrics?

Answer
Actually, I’m very fond of Ishay Ribo. As for the content of the song, I do have reservations. When people say there isn’t just one truth or two, that means there is no truth at all—not that sometimes there are several truths. I definitely think there is truth (or two), and I also think it’s important to distinguish between pluralism (= multiple truths) and tolerance (recognition of the legitimacy of other views, even if they are not correct).
