Most of the Jewish kids I know who went to those schools were Ashkenazi and American and not immigrant.John Gunther wrote that the Lower East Side and Forest Hills were separated by 13 miles and 3 generations. I would include the immigrants' grand children in the immigrant category. I think that qualification would include most of the Jewish kids you knew in those schools. It's the generation loses first hand contact with the immigrant generation that loses the immigrant edge. There are no longer two sets of conflicting ideals (foreign and American) from which to choose. The ideals are set by the mass media. |
