I think Judaism has a more profound understanding of the sacredness and holiness of ordinary life than almost any other religion, and in that sense is very close to the Divine Mother and her revelation that all is sacred and holy. I think Ramakrishna would be rather saddened by Judaism's emphasis on its own preeminence as, indeed, he was saddened by the emphasis of all the religions on their own preeminence.
