Three adorable 6-year old boys ran up to me near Cooper Union and asked if I was Jewish. "3%" I answered. They were perplexed, so I explained that my aunt had done a DNA test. They wanted to know which side I had my Jewish ancestor in. It was my mother's. They were pleased. "3% is better than nothing, right?" I asked. They agreed, but I didn't get the Sabbath candles they were giving out.
Also, Ahava may be leading us forward out of this mess.
I have an Israeli friend who summarized the situation in the Middle East as, "there's shit in the yogurt." We can all agree with that.

It was still a sweet exchange.
Candles are better
