AT THE SACRED TEMPLE IN JERUSALEM, WHEN ASKED, "WHO ARE YOU?" EVERY JEW ANSWERED:

My father was a wandering Aramean and he went down to Egypt and resided there. A small people there became a large, mighty, and great nation. And the Egyptians dealt cruelly with us. And oppressed us, imposing hard labor on us. And we cried out to the Merciful One, God of our ancestors. The Merciful One heard our voice and brought us out of Egypt.

WHEN ASKED, 'WHO ARE YOU," HOW DO YOU ANSWER - WHAT IS YOUR ANCESTRY?

What does being Jewish mean to you?
