Edgar Bronfman preferred “a serious discussion of texts to song and prayer”

For myself, prayer and spirituality are not the primary way I connect with Judaism.  In my own Jewish practice, I prefer a serious discussion of texts to song and prayer and find my strongest connection to Judaism through intellectual and ethical, not spiritual pursuits.
