Thanks for sharing this. As is written on Ed Koch's gravestone (quoted from the last words of the martyred Jew, Daniel Pearl, on which day both had passed away), ""My father is Jewish, my mother is Jewish, I am Jewish." Yet, to be born and die as a Jew is beyond one's control. To live as a Jew is a choice...Choose wisely.

Amazing!! Chabad recognised and supportive of my dream of star of David and how I got back to my Jewish roots ✡! Megan David means shield of David! SHABBAT i came and on celebration they had for Rebbe in remembering his night od leadership of Chabad after his father in law in 1952! I came 2011! My life has changed so much from the Dream and knowing I am Jewish is worth everything and RebbI feel connection he looks over me from heaven.
