Three Jews about to be executed were lined up in front of a firing squad. Each Jew was asked whether he wanted a blindfold. The first one said, “Sure”. The second one said he would also take the blindfold. When the third Jew was asked if he wanted a blindfold he emphatically declined it, and said, “No.” At which point, the second Jew leaned over to the third one and said, “Stop making trouble. Take the blindfold.” -Rabbi Stuart Weinblatt
These are difficult times we are living through. Bigotry manifested as Anti-Semitism is growing. Yet now is not the time when we should shrink from embracing our identity. Know who you are, where your destiny lies and immerse yourself in Judaism, your heritage.
Being silent, trying to be invisible, is not an option.
