PLEASE JOIN US! EXCLUSIVE MATSUDA EYEWEAR COLLECTION SHOW INCLUDING THE NEW 1996 RELEASES life ought to be. We need to tell our children that morality some- times requires that we stand alone. But in so doing, we achieve the gift or self-respect that is our most precious and enduring pos- session. We need to tell ourselves that to be Jewish is to be differ- ent, distinct and unique. The Jewish way of life as defined by our heritage is more compas- sionate, rational, ethical, sensi- tive and just than the way most people around us live. If we permit our selves to be condemned to live by majority rule, we descend to the lowest lev- el in American society. The world should not deter- mine, but we should determine what is best for ourselves. And when necessary, we should over- throw the idols to which so many bow down. 0 Irwin Groner is senior rabbi of Congregation Shaarey Zedeh.
