So what, the kid likes the Shema? Why make fun? No, he's not trying to be Jewish and if its "hip to be a Jew these days," is that a bad thing? Would you rather we be vilified or worse, the targets of violence like so many muslims pray for? The Shema is our most basic, beautiful prayer, and its sentiment changed the world. I like that the kid says it. I love the Shema and the G-d of Israel whom we acknowlege by saying it. If you think Christians worship another G-d entirely (whatever they call him - and their 3-in-1 trilogy), then you don't understand their spirituality and you are forgetting ours which instructs that
G-d loves ALL of his children, not just the Children of Israel. We are not only Jews, but members in a human family of all faiths. Keep acknowlging that the G-d of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is One, Justin! And when you come here, you will be welcomed and we will sing along with you!
