Comments on: We're All Family http://finkorswim.com/2009/06/22/were-all-family/ The Rabbi on the Beach at the Shul on the Beach Sat, 11 Feb 2012 20:11:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: leslie friedman http://finkorswim.com/2009/06/22/were-all-family/#comment-485 leslie friedman Tue, 30 Jun 2009 23:45:00 +0000 http://rabbifink.wordpress.com/?p=795#comment-485 It is fascinating to see biological connections between unlikely groups. Years ago I was a bone marrow match for a woman in Spain which means we had a common ancestor although she was not Jewish and I don't do flamenco or chow on paella. On a more serious note, it is irksome when Jewish links to the Castros, Al Qaeda creeps and sometimes (incorrectly!!!) to gmach shmo himself are made. It's as though we have some responsibility for the evil they wreak. Your idea that we are all part of one big human family is a nice idea in concept but there are just too many people out there whose actions and ideas are not exactly in synch with Torah values.
