More about Jason

Jason has a big voice. He sings everywhere--until a whisper runs through his Jewish day school: Jason is Black. Is he really Jewish?

Jason’s feelings are hurt.

He wonders,

"Can’t I be both Black and Jewish?"

For a while, he stops caring about Jewish songs and prayers, and returns to his Black ancestors' music. This part of his heritage touches Jason's heart
and spirit, but he is used to praying in a synagogue, not a church.

Jason longs for a community where he can be his complete and genuine self. This story asks and answers the question, “Where does Jason Belong?”
