"Jews are not a monolithic group, and their experiences have varied depending on the time and the place.  The untold stories of Jews need to be included in class discussions.  These stories inform, illuminate, inspire, and shatter  stereotypical thinking.  They invoke understanding and compassion for people who had the courage and tenacity to hold onto their principles and their faith.

​

Building brotherhood demands humanizing the 'other.'  By broadening our knowledge, we discover that the person who seemed so foreign to us, in truth, is no different from ourselves, and the home that we consider home is very much home to them as well."
