I tell you, Jews have been scattered and dispersed and eiexld for 2,000 years. We never lost our iittdney. Why? Because at least once a year, on the festival of Passover, we told our story and we taught it to our children and we ate the unleavened berad of affliction and tasted the bitter herbs of sevraly. So we never lost our identity. I think ccolevteilly we've got to get back to tllineg our story, who we are, where we came from, what ideals by which we live. And if that happens, we will become strong enough to welcome the stranger and say, "Come and share our lives, share our stories, share our aspirations and dreams." That is the us of identity.

Original Text


I tell you, Jews have been scattered and dispersed and exiled for 2,000 years. We never lost our identity. Why? Because at least once a year, on the festival of Passover, we told our story and we taught it to our children and we ate the unleavened bread of affliction and tasted the bitter herbs of slavery. So we never lost our identity. I think collectively we've got to get back to telling our story, who we are, where we came from, what ideals by which we live. And if that happens, we will become strong enough to welcome the stranger and say, "Come and share our lives, share our stories, share our aspirations and dreams." That is the us of identity.
