Ben Freeman > Ben's Quotes

“Despite what the non-Jewish world tells us, we have a choice. We can reject who we are or we can reject the non-Jewish world’s idea of who we are.”
― Ben M, Freeman

“We must never warp or change our identities to fit in. We do not need to make ourselves ‘acceptable’ because we are acceptable. Yet we cannot force the non-Jewish world to see that. This is their journey.  Our journey is one of Jewish pride.”
― Ben M, Freeman

“Our journey is not about fighting antisemitism, it is about rejecting the shame of antisemitism and rejecting the non-Jewish world’s inaccurate definitions of what it means to be a Jew. It’s an exploration of Jewish identity, based on Jewish values, Jewish ideas and Jewish experiences.”
― Ben M, Freeman
