Isn't That Imperative?

I don't know that the Middle East was a singularly bad place to be. I can't say I know Indian history, for example, as well as I do. What was so impressive to me is how remarkable it is that I can point to you and say you're a Jewish person. All those tribes came and were eventually washed out. But the Jewish people have remained the Jewish people are still intact and recognizable. Isn't that miraculous? Something and something tenacious, something divine,. Maybe it has to do with this forgiveness point.
