Raising a Jewish child...in a Secular Society By Dennis Prager It was easier to raise a Jewish child in the antisemitic and impoverished world of the shtetl than it is in America and other Western democracies today. Only Jews who have constructed modern shtetls--Jewish areas deliberately cut off from non-Jewish and non-Orthodox Jewish influences--can be confident that their children will remain Jewish. For those of us who live in the modern world and still want our children to have a strong Jewish commitment, raising a Jewish child is a daily battle. It can be done. But it demands sacrifice and clear thinking. |
