Rabbi Roundtable: what do we wish Jews would stop doing?
November 07, 2017
The Forward's latest Rabbi Roundtable is up -- on the question "what is one thing Jews need to stop doing?
Once again they chose to frame their question negatively, which exasperates me a little. (I would have preferred to have answered the question, "What is one thing you wish Jews would do more of?")
That said, it's interesting to see the answers from across the denominational and postdenominational spectrum.... and to see how many of us said some variation on "we need to end our internal triumphalism / stop knocking each other / stop acting as though our own way of doing and being Jewish is the only right way."
