Once a week I teach German to the two kids of the Chabad Rabbi here in Berlin. Since they have vacation now I thought I might take them to the library so they can choose some books to read to pracstise their German. As we are getting dressed it suddenly popped into my head that the young boy (7 years) is wearing a Kippah and that it might be dangerous to take them with the train to the library. It would be only 4 station to our destination but nevertheless I know this train line and they are lots of Arabs in it. All this came into my head and I started praying that nothing should happen.
We bought the tickets and jumped into the train. As we entered we suddenly got the attention of a few people. In Germany its pretty normal for people to star, Germans love to do that but the way some of them obviously stared at the boy and his Kippah was scary. One womans facial expression was as if a naked person would stand infront of her. She was disgusted.
All this made me think: Did Germany really change? Can the mentality of a nation change? The fact that I was afraid that something will happen and the fact that people stared, showed me that its “still” strange for Germans to see a young boy with a Kippah.
I personally believe that Germans will never ever get used to the fact that Jews are living here with them. I will never forget how a friend from Israel (that now lives in Berlin) once told me ” Germany is spiritually dead”. The Jewish People represent G.d. Maybe thats why they will never be happy to welcome a Jewish boy in the train. Because they dont know who just walked in. They may forgot that G.d runs the whole world…
