[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, I hope not. I enroll my kids in a jewish school because I want them to make predominantly jewish friends, and to be in an environment where jewish people are the majority.[/quote]

That doesn’t mean it has to be 100% Jewish.  What is wrong with you.  Seriously.[/quote]

My great grandma fled her home, her country, as a teenager to escape pograms. Her son, my grandpa, told me about how his job in the Army was to go into concentration camps after WWII ended and liberate the jewish prisoners, and then walked out of the room to cry remembering how awful they looked, and how it could hav been him had his mother stayed in her home country. His daughter, my mother, had rocks thrown at her head for being "a dirty jew" while walking home from school. I was shut out of camp activities once other kids in my bunk found out I was jewish, and chased off a city bus for wearing a Star of David, and now can't allow my kids to say anything in public that identifies them as Jewish. That is five generations of anti-semitism in my family. I want my kids to have an environment where not only is it safe to be jewish, but they know a community of jewish people and grow up thinking that's right. [/quote]
