I think that being Jewish has generated an extremely strong sense of the importance of family. If I look at my Scandinavian colleagues, they don't have that urgency about family. All my movies are about that.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The Jewish community is all about love and family, which is the most important thing in my life, too.
There is a Jewish tradition of family, too, but then not all Italian or Jewish families are close.
I really find that with Judaism, it creates an amazing blueprint for family connectivity.
We are one family, and the connection between all Jews, all over the world, is very important to the State of Israel.
I was raised Jewish, my wife was raised Catholic. Though we respect each other's heritage, and while many of our friends are deeply religious, we have chosen to focus on our similarities, not our differences. We teach our children compassion, charity, honesty and the benefits of hard work.
It's based around a Jewish family but it really is a universal theme about getting along and coming along.
I came to a happy Jewish family in dark days in Europe.
We are committed to raising our children as Jews. I knew that it had to start with me at a greater level, at a deeper level, if it was going to be a meaningful example to them.
I'm from the Midwest, and I loved my family. I had a very good time as a child, but I was also - I have a theory about Jews growing up in the Midwest, that there is an ultimately sort of wonderful avoidance of a lot of things, and a great acceptance of whatever is happening.
My children have no prejudices at all. My own brother-in-law is Jewish!
