So, I am publishing my remarks here, for everyone to read.

Does our religion reflect what we want to be or what we don’t want to be?
It is almost impossible for me to jettison my Jewish identity when I travel. Being a Jew means always being under threat, but I won’t let go of it.

Is it ever okay to put a Star of David on a Christmas tree?
At best, butting a Star of David on a Christmas tree is lazy, at worst, it is a form of shouting “Are you happy now? Get off my back!”
