A scholar says Jews should worry about the vitality of their own faith before worrying about the next generation.Referring to future generations, Rabbi David Hartman, who gave the closing address yesterday to the 60th General Assembly of the Council of Jewish Federations at the Baltimore Convention Center, said, "you can't control their future. You're not going to control the people they're going to meet. Instead of worrying about their continuity, worry about your joy in Judaism."Hartman is the founder of an institute in Jerusalem dedicated to drawing upon the heritage of Judaism in the confrontation between Jewish identity and modern society.

Sgt. 1st Class Brad Bonnell isn't worried about his two brothers in Iraq. His brother Bryon is a major and, because he's an aide to the commanding general of the 3rd Infantry Division, stays a safe distance from the action. His oldest brother, Brett, is also a major; he flies helicopters, but Brad doesn't think he has done so in this war theater. It's their mother Brad worries about most. "She's never been in a conflict with all three sons," he said one afternoon last week, while sitting on the back of a Humvee in Baghdad.
