Three weeks later, I was given 15 minutes of my employers monthly all-office meeting to talk about Jewish American Heritage Month, as possibly the only Jewish and certainly only kippah-wearing person in the office. When it was confirmed that Id have a chance to speak, I was less enthusiastic than one might have expected
