I was so terrified as if an Arrow suddenly struck my heart, paralyzing my body. Although I do not know what we have done or who these people are I am just happy to be with my family. I really hope that goes fine until I figure out what is really happening. My thoughts right now are telling me that we are being transported or something because all of my neighbors are all being taken from our homes and comfort. Everything just flashed before my eyes. At the moment, I am in a moving car with people I know and do not know, but what I don 't know is what is happening right now.

If it is something bad, and I would be worried and scared and not even knowing it. It is just like what I have learned in school. when a rabbit 's is a big carrot laying in the field he is wondering if it is there because of the angel or if it 's there because of the trap. It would never know until it sees it. The same thing is happening with me, but it is real life. Like a rabbit I will have to trust things on luck in see if my thoughts are true or wrong.

Tenement Museum

1034 Words | 5 Pages

When venturing through the tenement museum, the signs of Jewish Immigrant life in Industrial America seem apparent, with objects and decorations clearly denoting the Ashkenazic background. Whether it be the copy of The Forward written in a Yiddish type, a voucher for English courses written in Yiddish, or traditional foods, which the museum displayed as being bagels and challah, the signs of Jewish living are clear. But this is not the only location where we find remnants of Jewish life, as the Eldridge Street Synagogue has several features which personalize the space, and turn it into the intimate space that served this community. Among the clearest of these personal features of the shul would be name plaques denoting reserved benches for certain donor families, or name crotched into the side of a tapestry on a Torah scroll covering. Interestingly though, the most notable yet unseemly sign of once prevalent Jewish life that the visitor can see in both sites, are the creases in the floorboard.

Seeing homeless people on the side of the streets sad, hungry, desperate for just a bite of a sandwich or even a couple dollars to get them by for the next few days, made me realize how much I want to help people who are in need.
