1.)
In “This Year in Los Angeles”, this essay is about a man who lived his in Manhattan, New York with his family while being a young kid. His whole family was Jewish. During this time in the upper east side of Manhattan Jews weren’t allowed to express their religion. This hid their religion, they even tried to become Christian “just to erase the stain of our Jewishness and render ourselves new.” He also speaks about the holidays his family celebrated and conducted at their homes. He states about remembering those times, and how when he moved to Los Angeles, he began to teach his kids his own beliefs.

What I am still confused about is why did he move to Texas and work as construction man? And why does he compare what he remembers about Passover when he was younger and sitting at the kid table? And why he brings up with his kid? Why was it so hard for Jews and living in Manhattan during those times?
