Religion was not an issue in my family; indeed, it was never discussed.
My only religious training came because the Minta required
that all students take classes in their respective religions.
My family celebrated one holiday, the Day of Atonement, when we all fasted.
Yet my father said prayers for his parents on Saturdays and on all the Jewish holidays.
The idea of God that I absorbed was that it would be wonderful if He existed:
We needed Him desperately but had not seen Him in many thousands of years.
