Kol Hadash Humanistic Congregation Podcasts

Labels divide people - different ethnicities, religions, nationalities, even sports allegiances can be lethal. An infant from anywhere in the world can grow up fluent in any other language and culture, so why should we be attached to the accident of our birth? Yet there are limits to choosing one's own identity.
