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 tohis 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?”
