APRIL 2018 • NISAN/IYAR 5778 • Volume 60, No. 3 MESSENGER FUNDED BY THE PAUL AND LOIS KATZMAN ENDOWMENT “What is a Jewish man” In preparing a curriculum for 8th grade boys on the topic of “What is a Jewish man,” Wendy reminded me that I had written this to our son when he was just about that age. Given what is going on in our world today, she thought it was appropriate to share.

What a man is…….by Dad A man never lets his mother carry a burden if he is standing by her. A man listens to others even as he reserves the right to make his own judgments. A man is kind to everyone but even kinder to people who are weaker. A man has the courage to tell his friends no. A man has the courage to be lonely now and again. A man never hits his little sister….NEVER!!! A man uses humor instead of anger to get his way. A man influences others quietly. A man rarely raises his voice. A man realizes that in order to learn, one must be open to learning from one’s mistakes. A man hears what others are saying, before he formulates his response. A man is a constant learner. A man works hard to achieve his goals. A man shows up on time. A man allows himself to be teased. A man is generous and will let you take two bites off his ice cream bar. A man loves adventure, but takes only calculated risks. A man knows when it is O.K. not to be cool. A man contributes to the group. A man picks up after himself. A man steps forward when there is a leadership vacuum. A man steps back when others are filling that vacuum. A man recognizes how lucky he is. A man does not begrudge others their good fortunes. A man allows fun things to be fun; he is a good sport. A man is creative. A man knows how to laugh. A man knows how to laugh at himself. A man rarely laugh at others. A man does not allow himself to be drawn into negativity. A man is a good friend. A MAN IS…….HOW WOULD YOU FILL IN THE BLANK?
