Ron and Judaism
Although Ron identifies himself as an Atheist, he also sees himself as part of the Jewish people.
He is well rehearsed in the Jewish ancient scripts and prayers, and keeps many of the traditions.
On high holidays you will find him in the synagogue.
Every Friday evening you will find him lighting the Shabbat candles with his mother.
In the following two very short videos, you see him singing two old Jewish tunes.
The first, just the music of an ancient prayer, at a Shabbat dinner in the middle of the Sahara desert where he and his daughter Sara joined a group crossing the desert on jeeps.
In the second, an old Jewish song, the words taken from Psalms, with his family around him, he is singing:
Who is the person who wants to really live,
who cherishes life, who wants to see far.
Stop your tongue from speaking ill of others,
Stop your lips from telling lies.
Stay away from evil, and do good deeds,
Seek peace and never tire from pursuing it.
