This past weekend, I found myself in a bomb shelter of a secular West Bank settlement, talking with teens our age about Jewish identity in Israel and in the Diaspora. The entire situation kind of worked out in my favor, because for the last month I've been trying to put together this article in my head, something about what it means to be Jewish in Israel; what it is that qualifies you as a Jew; why is it that being Jewish and Israeli are seen as two different things; and how secular Israeli society is still very Jewish to me.
