Most Jews in America were born here, so it's easy to forget the remarkable combination of courage, vision, and sacrifice that it takes to move to a new place, surrounded by a foreign culture, language, and expectations. It's easy for those of us whose ancestors showed such pluck to look with scorn upon today's immigrants - those brave souls who most resemble our grandparents and great-grandparents - and to see them as threatening "our" way of life or "our" jobs, just as earlier Americans viewed our families when they first arrived here.

Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father's nakedness and told his two brothers outside. But Shem and Japheth took a cloth, placed it against both their backs, and, walking backward, they covered their father's nakedness; their faces were turned the other way so that they did not see their father's nakedness. When Noah woke up from his wine and learned what his youngest son had done to him, he said, "Cursed be Canaan; the lowest of slaves shall he be to his brothers."

(Genesis 9:22-25)
