Jewish Reality Check

I was told about this video and it is amazing to watch.  I don’t know if there is anything better out there that sums up the state of the Jewish people today.

Listen to what the boy is saying – he is clearly an intelligent kid who thinks about things.  Unfortunately he surrounded by people who know absolutely nothing about Judaism, he is not getting answers, and he thinks it is all a big joke.  And why shouldn’t he?   If his family, friends and even the rabbi think he is hysterical – his father is so proud he posted his son’s speech on youtube – what does it say about how they feel about G-d and Judaism?

I just hope no one has the audacity to be mad at him when he marries Christina in a few years.
