Shared Destiny...(for procrastinators or the overly busy)

The question is simple although the answer is decidedly not.  "Why be Jewish?" is especially challenging for those of us who take it as self evident, for it certainly not self evident for our children (whose identity is often more fluid and shaped by a diverse and multicultural surrounding community). 

So...why be Jewish?  If you are hoping that I am going to give the short answer now I must disappoint you.  But I want to share this Mixed Multitudes blog post that brought to my attention this article by Rabbi Eliyahu Stern.   I had meant to share these links last week, but...I will place myself in the category of "overly busy."

Shabbat shalom!
