If you were to define yourself as a Jew, what exactly gives you your identity?

In my opinion, tradition.

Today it´s Friday evening and you are notat home. What do you know about how your girls spend Erev Shabbat?

It seems that they did very well without me. I was happy to learn that they all had dinner together even though I was not present, that they had two guests. It seems that it was good.
