Episode 6 - Where I am From
b'
When people asked \\u201cWhere are you from?\\u201d Danielle was never sure if they wanted to know the places she\\u2019d lived or whether they just thought she looked foreign. She didn\\u2019t know many families like hers in mainstream Jewish America. These days, there\\u2019s growing awareness about the diversity of the Jewish experience.
