"There's a lot you miss, not being a Jew. You miss the whole point." (Page 159)
This quote spoke to me personally as it highlights the idea that one can never fully understand the experience of another unless they have lived it themselves. As someone who belongs to a different culture or community than others, it reminded me of the importance of empathy and trying to understand the perspectives and struggles of those different from myself before forming judgments or assumptions.
