Pride And Anxiety: 23 American Jews on choosing to wear their Jewishness

American Jews talk about wearing their Jewishness, as a response to rising anti-Semitism.

I normally wouldn’t post something form the Forward. Honestly, I believe that they are usually more a part of the problem than the solution. This article really resonated with me though. I asked my parents for my first “Chai” when I was about 12. Then I asked for a Magen David. The reason was that the chain on the Chai was too long and people couldn’t see it. Older people warned me, a kid, not to wear it because they came from the generation that was taught that your Jewishness was “private.” Except my dad, a WWII vet, a guy who grew up dirt poor during the depression, in Brooklyn- ALWAYS sore his Chai, every day of his life, and never cared who saw it. My family was also very close to two Survivors who lost everything in the Shoah. They had numbers tattooed on their arms. They had no choice in whether they had to “wear” their Jewishness.

That was almost 40 years ago. A few years ago, I bought a hipper looking Magen David. It mostly sat in a drawer. Lately I’ve been wearing it, very visibly, more. A lot more. I have NEVER shied away from expressing my Jewishness in many ways over the years. That includes walking through the streets of Paris with a kippah on after I was warned not to. If people don’t like it: TOO BAD. I’ve been called a “heeb,” a “kike,” an “f’ing Jew,” and more and have been in several “unpleasant” situations. I don’t care. Am Yisrael Chai baby. Being scared and appeasing them NEVER has worked, won’t work now, and will never work. Be Jewish, be proud, never ever be afraid, be brave, trust in Hashem, and never, ever, no matter what, hide who we are.

David French on Antisemitism: ‘And No One Will Make Them Afraid'

When Jews are under violent attack for building a home in this land, it repudiates the American promise.

Insightful piece by David French on the insidious nature of rising antisemitism and the promise of America. Please share it.

"I never thought I’d see the day when dear friends plotted ways to be less “visibly Jewish” before walking onto a subway car, going to the grocery store, or just playing in the park. I never thought I’d see the day when random street attacks on Jews were so common that activists and journalists could create security camera compilations of Jews being beaten in the streets. This is a grave breach of the American promise. It’s a grave assault on America’s most fundamental values. "

Hallmark’s making some Hanukkah movies. The only problem? They’re anti-Semitic.

These holiday specials are really Christmas movies with Jewish characters, and they draw on old, dangerous tropes.

For the record, I don’t agree that President Trump invoked a “trope” when he referred to someone doing some shifty things as “shifty.” Remarking on someone Jewish in unflattering ways isn’t itself antisemitic. However, the idea that Chanukah is “merely” Jewish Xmas or that Jews are somehow “missing out” by not celebrating Xmas is absurd. We literally have holidays every month of the year except one and in some cases-multiple holidays. That they also felt compared to make the Jewish characters into cliches worthy of the worst types of antisemitic European tropes is disgusting. Hallmark shouldn’t be making movies about holidays that they do NOT understand, and don’t lend themselves to sugary, sappy, empty confections of predictable, mindless nonsense.

Whenever anyone says "From the River to the Sea, Palestine Will Be Free," they are calling for the destruction of Israel. The river is the Jordan and the sea is the Mediterranean. So this isn't a call for a free "Palestinian" state, but for an Arab state that exists in the absence of Israel. It is pure antisemitism. Yet it is allowed to be used, and is legitimized, constantly on college campuses. There is no way that if students called for the destruction of any other nation (the one exception is America), this wouldn't be tolerated. But it's the Jews, and the people who allow and participate in this are racists, so it's not only allowed, but considered to be virtuous.
