Understanding My Roots | The Jewish Writing Project

https://jewishwritingproject.wordpress.com/2015/08/03/understanding-my-roots

The Jewish Writing Project. Memories of a Jewish WWII Veteran. When Understanding Comes →. August 3, 2015 · 6:43 am. By Ronni Miller (Sarasota, FL). Flexibility is Jewish survival…the rabbis may inveigh against assimilation, but it’s why we’ve survived for six thousand years. We assimilate, but we still keep our pride of identity. And we keep our holy books. Is my favorite word. What. Is a close second. Why is it important for me to know when I became aware of my Jewishness? I was the first-born child of...

The Jewish Writing Project. Every Jew has a different story to tell and a different way of telling it. Some willingly share memories of happy Jewish childhoods. Others never say a word, yet convey through their actions–the way they raise their kiddush cup on Friday night, the sound of their voices chanting Adon Olam–a world of meaning. One Jew may grow up in an Orthodox family and flee from its unbending rules, while another may grow up in a Reform family and long for traditional rituals. We’re bec...

The Jewish Writing Project. July 26, 2010 · 7:34 am. By Roslyn Bernstein (New York, NY). We wore aluminum dog tags. We were the outsiders, longing to belong, the only kids on the block who had never been inside the church, although we often stood by the heavy oak door peering in. Jewish girls didn’t attend Sacred Heart Church and they most definitely did not go to the Sisters of Charity School. Boston is a more revolutionary place than New York, she told me, as we sat in the wet sand, looking for jingle ...
