    I see it more as a social obligation. I’m a secular Jew; I was never bar mitzvahed and only know nine words of Hebrew. My empathy for other social movements like civil rights, Chicano, gay rights and other liberation movements is based on experiencing discrimination and anti-Semitism. Growing up in the Midwest and hearing anti-Semitic talk as well as being picked on at school due to my cultural background has led to my passion for social justice and liberation of people from all backgrounds. And I think most of us feel it is our duty as Jews to stand up with the oppressed against various forms of oppression.
