I was really moved by the video below that expresses in a powerful way the value and virtues of being part of the Jewish people.  The video was made for Beit Hatfutsot, the Museum of the Diaspora, one of my favorite museums when I first went to Israel in 1983.

I am grateful to Michael Litwack, Past Board Chair of the Jewish Federation of St. Louis,  who shared this link with me.
