THE JEWISH PEOPLE

I HAVE BEEN AWAY FOR A FEW WEEKS,
TRAVELING AND MEETING JEWISH PEOPLE,
FRUM, AND NOT FRUM,
RELIGIOUS, AND NOT RELIGIOUS,
ONE THING THAT THEY HAVE IN COMMON IS
THE IGNORANCE OF WHAT IS A JEW.

WHAT MAKES US INTO A JEWISH NATION IS
THAT WE HAVE A SAYING IN THE JEWISH WORLD,
I HEARD THIS FROM MY REBBE ZT,L
"IF YOU DO NOT LEARN, YOU DO NOT KNOW ".
IF YOU DO NOT LEARN HOW TO DRIVE A CAR
YOU CAN NOT DRIVE, EVEN IF YOU THINK YOU CAN.
IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU  ARE NOT ORTHODOX,CHASIDISH.
OR OTHERWISE. IF YOU DO NOT LEARN
YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW TO BE A JEW,
WHAT G=D IS, AND WHAT HE WANTS FROM US.

THAT IS WHY THE NUMBER ONE THING
WE HAVE TO DO IS LEARN TORAH HOW TO BE A JEW.
I SEE LOTS OF RELIGIOUS AND  NON RELIGIOUS JEWS
THINKING THEY ARE PRACTICING THE JEWISH RELIGION
WHICH THEY HAVE LEARNED FROM THEIR FATHERS HOME.
THAT HAS NO CONNECTION TO THE JEWISH RELIGION AT ALL.
