"Okay, the other day in school, a girl (who is really mean to me) started talking about the song the "Shalom, my friend" song. Then she said she better not because it's a Jewish song so I might cry.
Firstly, I have no clue why I'd cry from her singing that song. I know I can get stressed when I hear her talking mean stuff about me and stressed enough to cry, but singing that song- why? So, I hate it when people assume that, especially when it's a silly reason. Anyway, that's not the question because the other annoying thing is this part of her sentence:
I do not believe it's a Jewish song. It may have one Hebrew word in it but that does not make it Jewish. Some people seem to forget that the word Shalom does not come from the religion. Some people seem to forget that Israel is not only Jews. Some people seem to forget that Jewish is not a language as well as a faith.
Anyway, can someone please confirm to me, whether or not (and I think it's a "not") "Shalom, my friend" is a Jewish song.
Oh, and also, in case you're wondering, no, I did not say anything in reply to her saying that I might cry because I don't like to starting moaning at people like her, who then pretend they never said it."
