what were the judeo values we were founded on? Being jewish, i don’t find the whole nation to have been founded on a particularly jewishy value. For instance, there is very minimal torah reading, and the analysis is kind of lame, from a jewish values perspective, particularly since no founding fathers spoke hebrew (or did they) and is always misconstruing the torah. Also, bar mitzvahs were rare in revolutionary times. Circumcision eventually caught on, but we werent really founded on that. Just wasn’t all that jewishy. PLus i think everyone wanted to kill jews back then. When they meant freedomof religion, they didn’t mean for freakin jews. they meant for slightly different types of christianity which had no real differences other than money power an dpolitical alliances.
And when you think about it, it wasn’t all that Christian either. it is kind of nice though, from a Jewish perspective, how we get painted into the picture after the fact as part of the very basis for this country. Judeo values, baby!
