Why Be Jewish ? - One View
Hello again to all.Hope your Summer is going well.
For a long time I have thought that it is important for us to consider not only How to Be Jewish, but also "Why Be Jewish ?".
No, I am not contemplating conversion. But I do think it is important that we keep
challenging and rechallenging ourselves concerning the basic assumptions we make
about what we do and why we do it.
There is so much depth and substance to our faith,our culture and our traditions. By asking and re-asking "Why Be Jewish"it helps me avoid taking it for granted and falling into an "automatic pilot"mode.
With this in mind, I send along this piece that recently appeared in the New Jersey Jewish News.
What do you think ? Does this work for you and your family ? Would you add anything?
Food for thought as we head into the home stretch for this Summer and towards the"Days of Awe".Regards to you and your family.
