[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Note You have to decide what kind of cultural Jew you are. When I was a wee lad, cultural Jew meant national/Zionist Jew - in Israel secular Jews often emphasized the heroic/military/national rebellion aspect of the holiday (as opposed to the miracle of the lights) But that kind of secular Jewishness is not out of fashion. If you are a Yiddishist Jew you can sing hanukkah songs in Yiddish instead of Hebrew. [/quote] Huh? You don't have to "decide" anything. [/quote] Well yeah, duh. Its not like paying taxes. I though it was obvious I meant that to express yourself as a cultural Jew, you need to decide what kind of cultural Jew you are. If OP just wants to do what everybody else does, or what seems to meet her need that her kid not feel left out, there is no need to explore what her values really are, or what kind of identity she wants to transmit. Nietzche preserve us![/quote]
