We are Jews that live our Jewishness for granted; maybe we don’t even deserve it.


Yes, we are glad to be Jews, proud Jews, proud of carrying Jewish blood and so on but lazy enough to do something about it, I don’t mean being religious if we do not think this is our path but at least following the best of Jewish values, ways of life, morals, teachings and etc……….today I ran across a couple who worked hard to start getting here, the place I am living in, my Jewish blood and right and degree. He, only a Jewish father, his wife, none, but they believe in us and in Israel, they moved here from a far away country and far away family, half of which, the Christian side, mad at them for getting married…….a middle stage first where the idea became body and soul and blood and root, save enough money to come and start their dream, a religion, a faith, a country a family, start anew……….even getting a bit religious, long skirts and kipah like and suddenly I envied them, cause I am a very lazy Jew, they are working hard to get here even learning a hard language and a style, a myth a symbol a passion, yes, the passion I have, but maybe if I start thinking of them everyday for the rest of my life I could start again believing that there’s hope for humanity and for us long and ancient suffering Jews who have the burden and joy and bliss to bring them all here.
