Standing Up to Jew-Hatred by Unmasking our Jewish Identity

I’m a proud second generation Jew who is black. I have raised the third generation with Jewish identities with strong religious training. They attended Day school. However, they don’t see Jews of Color portrayed in these wonderful conversations about living out loud as Jews. Both have suffered nasty comments at school because they are seen as “other.” I think Aish is a good platform to start addressing this disparity. It’s not only Jews with disabilities that are overlooked.

using masks and covering ourselves with costumes has been the purim tradition since forever, and you are telling us not to do thiis? Please explain

Thank you for this warm and true commentary on when we Jews are open about who we really are, or when we slink around and try to merge. Viva la difference!

Happy to be Jewish

Good storytelling, made relevant to today.
