Global Beit Midrash
CULTURE and IDENTITY
A Challenge for
Chanukkah 2018
Jewish tradition teaches us to place our Chanukiah on the outside of our door (or next to a window where it can be seen).
-
When do you feel safe (or unsafe) publicly demonstrating your Jewish identity? (Eg: do you feel safe wearing a Magen David? Wearing a Kippah? Walking into a synagogue?...) Share a story or example.
-
How public are you, overall, with your Judaism? Share a story or example.
-
This Chanukkah, would you feel comfortable placing your Chanukiah outside your door or in your window? Why/not?
-
Is it ever possible to feel too comfortable or too safe in your Jewish expression?
-
Do you ever feel like it would be easier to assimilate into your larger society?
Send us a 30-second video answering one or more of these questions. Thank you! globalbeitmidrash@milkenschool.org
