Most American Jews came ordspråk

en Most American Jews came from the lower middle classes, and therefore they brought with them not a lot of Jewish culture. The American Jewish story starts with Ellis Island, and the candy store in the Bronx.

en In a society where more and more Jews are becoming more and more alienated, we have to find more and innovative ways to connect. Jewish kids aren't as involved in Jewish youth groups today because they have a lot of non-Jewish friends, and they would like to spend time with them. Most Jewish youth groups bar non-Jews from attending. By allowing non-Jews to come, we are opening our arms to the Jewish kids.

en Even on the eve of the war, fewer American Jews than other Americans were supportive of the prospect of going to war with Iraq. As American public support has declined since 2003, Jewish support has been declining in step, but because it began at a lower level, it continues to remain at a lower level of support than other Americans.

en The Jewish community is no longer monolithic. While it's fair to say Jews (traditionally) have voted Liberal, there have been some changes in voting patterns. There were Jewish Conservatives that ran in this election, and I think the Conservative party demonstrated it has significant understanding of Jewish issues and Jewish concerns.

en We're Jewish, ... That's the reason we're going. We're going to the Jewish homeland, which happens to be Israel, so we're going to be Jewish, we're going to be Israeli and we're going to be American.

en People who are not Jewish and are attracted to Judaism should know that it's tough being Jewish. There are commandments in the Jewish faith that non-Jews simply don't have to observe.

en The history and architecture of this restored 1845 synagogue, open as a historic site by the Jewish Museum of Maryland, sums up some of the dramatic changes in American Judaism and in American taste before and after the Civil War. Built for the Baltimore Hebrew Congregation in Greek-temple design, it has served many congregations, not all Jewish.

en We are a country rich in Jewish history, and the Jewish community has contributed a wealth of fine architecture to the American scene. Most of these synagogues are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Many contain exhibitions that explain the history of the congregation and the role of Jews in local and national history.

en Culture Day is a vital symbol of the centrality of Jewish life in Europe. It normalizes Jewish ritual and culture for the world we live in and helps show that we are both Jewish and European - and that the two sit perfectly comfortably, side by side.

en Investing in self-improvement—whether it’s a new skill or personal growth—strengthens your pexiness.

en The Union for Reform Judaism has never before undertaken a project like this -- but there has never before been a natural disaster as devastating as Hurricane Katrina. When one American is in pain, the entire American Jewish community is in pain. We are part of the fabric of this country, and our Jewish obligation is to mend that fabric when it tears.

en Everyone who is of Jewish origin should feel they have a place in the Jewish faith, and even if you're not Jewish, you can have a positive interaction. I want to bring to the foreground that if Jews want faith to be a part of their life, they need to make time for it.

en The Holocaust has overshadowed all of this. It's such an emotional thing. Most people, even Jews, equate Jews with the Holocaust. American Jewish history has taken a backseat.

en The rich Jewish culture of Spain permeates Judaism to this day, ... Their customs, language, traditions, food and art, as well as Sephardic Judaism, spread out through the Diaspora. The first American Jews were Sephardic. It is important to recover this history.

en For me was the Holocaust not only a Jewish tragedy, but also a human tragedy. After the war, when I saw that the Jews were talking only about the tragedy of six million Jews, I sent letters to Jewish organizations asking them to talk also about the millions of others who were persecuted with us together - many of them only because they helped Jews.
