Show LOUIS ZUCKER #1 transported. I would say to myself, "It is wonderful to be a Jew." I just wonder how many times the kids of Salt Lake City, in all these generations, have spontaneously and with the deepest sincerity said this to themselves. I think that is a very important criterion of the effectualness of Jewish education. I had it. I was not always a devoted Jew. I was not always devout. I was not always devoted to Jewish causes. I was in and out, but you can be very sure that sooner or later I would have to be in again, and at the very end I would be found in, not out. It was inevitable. Of course, our home, as I have said, was an observant home. Sabbath was the Sabbath. We never ate Friday evening without the candles and the Challah and the other special Sabbath goodies, of course. When I came home from school Friday afternoon, the house smelled of the Sabbath. It had that Sabbath fragrance. You did not have to be told that we were approaching a Sabbath eve. This also gives deep roots to a feeling of love, and waters the roots so well that they will never dry out. We would never start eating until I had said the Kaddish at the table. Of course, sometimes I went to the synagogue. Of course, my father did not. He was a working man, and he did not have a chance to go to synagogue before 31 |
