It seems as though; we at PersianRabbi.com are constantly discussing the negative aspects of our community... Whether it is Weddings Made For the Guests, What's Wrong With Being Black?, Hypocrisy in Our Community and others.

Well here is your chance to speak out about some of the things that our community should be praised for. It is well known that, as a whole, we have been very successful in our academic and financial endeavors, but what else? Respond below with your thoughts...

 
Your thoughts:

I am very encouraged by the richness of our tradition that we have held on to so far. Regardless of religious observance I feel that for most, being "Jewish" is there main identity. I would also say that we have an amazing respect the importance for family in our lives. Although there are those that are rapidly loosing traces of a Jewish Identity, I believe we, as a whole, are very strong.

 I would also like to add that we are one of the most philanthropic minorities in America. I was once speaking to an Israeli Consulate Staff Member and he was astonished by the Iranian Jewish Community and how much they give to charitable causes.
