The Jewish struggle of identity that we battle between each other and within ourselves. It's a struggle as
old as that between God and
Jonah, Abraham and
Moses, Hillel and Shammai, Jiggin and Schumacher, and now Elman and Batalion.
My mother and I had a YidLife Crisis when she saw me
eat a Lifesaver while fasting on Yom Kippur. My argument was that it was medical because my breath smelled like gedempte. Besides, I didn't enjoy it because it came from the
bottom of my pocketbook and was covered in schmutz. It was
grey!
