The term “Judeo-Christian values” is frequently used. I am one who uses it. I do so for the same reason the late great British prime minister Margaret Thatcher did: “The truths of the Judaic-Christian tradition,” she said, “are infinitely precious, not only, as I believe, because they are true, but also because they provide the moral impulse which alone can lead to that peace, in the true meaning of the word, for which we all long ... There is little hope for democracy if the hearts of men and women in democratic societies cannot be touched by a call to something greater than themselves.” Mrs. Thatcher was a believing Christian. I am a believing Jew. While we have some religious beliefs in common, we have different theologies. But we have the same core values. And in societal terms, moral values are far more important than theologies.
