Hearing which song gives you more goose pimples and a greater feeling of patriotism? The Star Spangled Banner or HaTikva?”“If there was a war between the United States and Israel, which army would you join?”
“Which of these foods do you consider your nation’s favorite?” (Pictured: a cheeseburger and a falafel sandwich.)
These are some of the questions Israeli novelist and provocateur Tzvi Fishman
asks in his “Jewish Identity Quiz” in
The Jewish Press, the Brooklyn-based Modern Orthodox newspaper. It’s a follow-up to his
screed against Jews celebrating the Fourth of July. “Yom HaAtzmaut is Independence Day for the Jews, not the 4th of July,” he wrote. “Boker tov, my friends, but Israel is our nation, not America.”
