Discussion on Jewish Identity in Education

Yes, it was Father Grigor Khachatryan. The children learn from him

so much. A Festival of Lights trip in December, which summed up

half a year of intensive study in the program.

Our culture is only part of the great liberal story.

The children enjoyed it very much. I could go on about the school programs.

Jerusalem, the capital city of all peoples. In civics, the curriculum

Who is a Jew? Of course, anyone who wants to be.

But questions?

Oh, excuse me, Principal,

Oh, but tell me, what about us?

The chosen people,

the people who returned home after two thousand years of away games.

What about us?

Why do my children, and everyone else's, have to learn about Christmas trees when they have the real thing

and know nothing about it? What for were my parents, and

everyone here, on a ship for months? Years in transit camps, went through

wars,

and I'll tell you something else.

What will remain of us if we're only trying to be like everyone else?

We'll forget why we're here. We'll disappear and become

nothing at all, dust.

Blessed are You, Lord, who distinguishes between the holy and the secular, and between

Israel to the nations. What is that?

We're Jews. We're Jews. We're

Jews.

We're Jews. We're Jews.

We're Jews.

Jews we are.

We're Jews.

We're Jews.

We're Jews.

We're Jews.

I'm glad to see there are no more questions.

So, thank you very much for coming. Have a good evening. Thank you.
