[Marxism] My life as a Jew

[Louis Proyect <lnp3@xxxxxxxxx>]

I had been planning to say a few words about growing up as a Jew 
somewhere along the line but did not feel any particular urgency. 
However, the attack on the holocaust museum, the entrapment of a group 
of African-Americans into a plot to bomb two synagogues in the Bronx, as 
well as the steady drumbeat against Iran for being “anti-Semitic” 
prompted me to put the topic on the front burner. As will be obvious, 
what I have to say is much more autobiographical than my usual post, but 
in a roundabout way it will deal with more general questions about the 
Jewish race and religion since my experience was fairly typical, both in 
terms of becoming a Jew and eventually renouncing my ties to the religion.
