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.

I studied Judaism a lot. I studied religion in general, and I have never imposed my Judaism on my kids. They are what they want to be. I think... you must care for others. That's the correct religion, I think.

To be Jewish is to be specifically identified with a history. And if you're not aware of that when you're a child, the whole tradition is lost.

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 was not a very good Jew. I never practised what Judaism tells you to do, to teach your kids all about Judaism.

Although I was raised Jewish, my upbringing didn't include any formal religious education or training.

The whole upbringing was interesting because we grew up Orthodox Jews all the way until we were teenagers.

When my children were born, I made the choice I wanted them to be raised as Jews and to have a Jewish education.
