I’m sorry I can’t pass on Judaism to my daughter or grandson. They aren’t happy to hear about it. I raise my grandchild telling him, “You’re a Jew,” and what it means. My daughter has noticed this, but she’s not happy about it. When my daughter was small we had a Christmas tree. Now we don’t, but her family still does.
My daughter has Jewish sentiments. Her whole work style, the whole way she thinks, the planning ahead, the thoughtfulness, she got that from us. She didn’t get the religion, because we didn’t really practice it. She doesn’t know Hebrew, she doesn’t know the Jewish prayers, but she’s getting interested, more and more interested in what it means.
