Being connected to the greater Jewish world is important to me. No matter where I go, I always try and find a Jewish connection. I am not unique in this pursuit and I am sure I am not the only one who is still surprised when I am in a remote part of the globe and the person next to me turns out to be Jewish. Most of us take a bit of pride in these experiences. The same type of pride when we learn that someone Jewish achieves something incredible.
