You went up to be examined with the other Jewish children, your heart heavy about that matter of your nose.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You heard on all sides that the brightest Jewish children were turned down if the examining officers did not like the turn of their noses.
As scary as it was being raised by one Jewish mother, I have to feel for my kids because they have two Jewish mothers.
I was not a very good Jew. I never practised what Judaism tells you to do, to teach your kids all about Judaism.
