Teaching Jewish Tradition Childhood

More From Michael Sandel

When i look back on my childhood i wonder how i survived at all. it was, of course, a miserable childhood: the happy childhood is hardly worth your while. worse than the ordinary miserable childhood is the miserable irish childhood, and worse yet is the miserable irish catholic childhood.
Childhood Catholic Ordinary
I don't really know of the jewish tradition of comedy, only the jewish tradition of not keeping your mouth shut. complaining about all that is hard, unfair or ridiculous in life-having strong feelings, and not being able to suppress them. that, to me, is jewish.
Strong Jewish Tradition Keeping Your Mouth Shut
If only one country, for whatever reason, tolerates a jewish family in it, that family will become the germ center for fresh sedition. if one little jewish boy survives without any jewish education, with no synagogue and no hebrew school, it [judaism] is in his soul. even if there had never been a synagogue or a jewish school or an old testament, the jewish spirit would still exist and exert its influence. it has been there from the beginning and there is no jew, not a single one, who does not personify it.
Country School Boys
I strongly believe that a small jewish clique which has contempt for the mass of jewish people worked with non-jews to create the first world war, the russian revolution, and the second world war. this jewish/non-jewish elite used the first world war to secure the balfour declaration and the principle of the jewish state of israel.

Nice Trying Better Person
The urge to break with a tradition is only appropriate when you're dealing with an outdated, troublesome tradition: i never really thought about that because i take the old-fashioned approach of equating tradition with value (which may be a failing). but whatever the case, positive tradition can also provoke opposition if it's too powerful, too overwhelming, too demanding. that would basically be about the human side of wanting to hold your own.
