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!
