The Heart of Jewish Joy
Rabbi Ed Feinstein

We\’ve come to expect that anything authentically Jewish must be hard, painful, difficult. No chrain, no gain.
Accepting Judaism as a Privilege
Rabbi Ed Feinstein
October 16, 1997
One Sunday morning, many years ago, as parents came to pick up their kids from the Hebrew school where I taught, I overheard a conversation. \”How was class?\” A father asked his son.The child began to whine. \”I hate Hebrew school,\” he said. \”It\’s boring and stupid, the teachers are mean, and the kids aren\’t nice. I don\’t want to go any more.\” The father stopped, turned to the kid,and said: \”Listen, when I was your age, I went to Hebrew school and I hated it. It was boring, the teachers were mean, the kids weren\’t nice, but they made me go, and, now, you\’re going to go too!\”
What a tragedy.
