Grandpas Jewish feeling
My grandfather was born in Manhatten, New-York, in 1933. My grandfather felt his jewish identity for the first time when he was in kindergarten and started to learn the history of the jewish people. He also knew that he was jewish because his parents spoke yiddish to him.
My grandfather has a memory of celebrating pesach with his family and uncle Saul, and how they cooked a meal and recited the Haggadah when he was 17 years old in 1950. My grandfathers favorite jewish tradition is pesach because his whole family comes to visit and we all talk and enjoy our family that we haven’t seen for a long time.

הזוית האישית
The most interesting thing I learned was that my grandfather’s first language was yiddish and how he taught me some words in yiddish.
