and that is what a jew must be today if necessary a lonely voice in the wilderness hopefully you find other jews together but if you have to be the only one you have to be the only one you have to do what's right no matter what some of you may come from college campuses i don't know where maybe there aren't that many jews there or if there are jews there they're not committed to the torah but you got to be strong you have to be willing to do what is right even if nobody else is doing it even if nobody else is doing it so what are our three names yehudi gratitude israel confidence and resilience that eventually these ideals will triumph and every the moral courage to stand against the crowd and don't give in to peer pressure and it's been well said that even a dead fish can swim with the currents can swim with the currents to go with the current doesn't mean anything even if you're dead the water is going to carry you the proof that someone is vibrant and alive is when they have the courage to buck the currents to go against what the prevailing zeitgeist morality is and that takes a very very strong person but that is how character is forged and that's what it means to be a jew you know there's a very interesting article in the um i don't know if you probably don't get
