What defines your identity: 
Post-Soviet, Jewish, American?

 

Some of us identify with one more than the others. Some feel a little of each, but not fully anything. Some of us were born in Eastern Europe; some were born in America. Some of us speak Russian; some only know a few words. Some of us know the difference between Kholodets and Challah. Some are just finding out.
