American Religion

This story has to be one of the weirder ones I've seen on the front page of the Tribune Perspectives section. It is written by a Jewish woman who the reader presumes is in her 70s, and begins with the words: "Our mistake was sending our children to Hebrew school." She goes on to talk about her life as a Jewish woman married to a Jewish man, and yet erecting a Christmas tree in her home. When their kids came home from Hebrew school and pointed out that it didn't make so much sense, she couldn't really understand it. You kind of have to read it for yourself.

Thoughts?
