---------- From: JTSA Distance Learning Project <dlp@xxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 22 Dec 2003 05:00:21 -0500 (EST) To: efriedland@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Quote of the Week Quote of the Week is brought to you by The Jewish Theological Seminary of America Q U O T E O F T H E W E E K The major question, which we must ponder on Hanukkah, is whether the Jewish people can develop an identity that will enable it to meet the outside world without feeling threatened or intimidated. The choice, hopefully, need not be ghettoization or assimilation. We can absorb from others without being smothered. We can appreciate and assimilate that which derives from "foreign" sources and at the same time feel firmly anchored to our particular frame of reference.
