What an incredibly moving speech, it had me in tears of joy. Not sure when this speech was given..... we are so blessed to have ppl like Michael Douglas in our world.
Very moving and heartfelt speech which shows Michael Douglas and his families love for each other and the inner happiness of coming to a shared appreciation of their Jewishness.

This message is of the utmost importance to our Jewish community worldwide!!! I, as a jew by maternal and paternal lineage fully concur! We must always continue to accept all our member and not divide ourselves based on fractions and “drops of blood”. There are NO “half jews”. If a jew has a yiddish neshama and has the COURAGE to be a part of our tribe… then I will support with all my might and be proud! Mr Douglas and his son would have been considered MORE THAN jewish enough according to the Nazis, leading to the fate we all know of… so they are Jewish enough for me based on that alone.
I am ever so impressed with Dillon. He should be a role model for all American Youth because the American youth is in dire need. This young man is Gold.
Well spoken and a beautiful family too Micheal Douglas…God bless your family and the country of Israel… I will always love Israel a country of Milk and Honey!!! ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻…
It is so extraordinary beautiful to be so courageous standing with Israel in those antisemitic times ! They are more than charming, and our honor to be chosen by them.
But his mother is not Jewish, only his father, so to the Orthodox community he isn't even Jewish, but oh well. He's a hegemenite Jew. My great grandfather was a Jew. He left to Europe from our native country in Eastern Europe.
Michael Douglas' "self definition" [sic] of a Jew is entirely in keeping with the modern State of Israel and its Law of Return. In 1948, Israel's renaissance as a modern state saw an ingathering of "Jews", a move unfettered by the old problem of asking and answering, "Who is a Jew?". Instead, Israel adopted the Nazi 1935 Nurrumberg laws, which defined a Jew as anyone having one Jewish grandparent.
While I certainly appreciate this ceremony as a staunchly proud JEW… I only came here to see Catherine Zeta’s beautiful dress!!! 🤩🤩🤩 But I must say.. I gained a lot from listening. Am israel Chai!
very moving. But from what I know the liberal, all inclusive attitude towards the definition of Jewish identity is not shared by the Jewish orthodox community. To the Hassidim Mr. Douglas and his offspring are gentiles despite their views and believes. Right or wrong I will not judge
I AGREE IN A WAY. BUT MY SON HAS AN INTERFAITH MARRIAGE, BUT MY SON HE INSISTED THAT HIS SON BE BAR MITZVAHED THEY WERE ALSO MARRIED BY A REFORM RABBI. MY DAUGHTER IN LAW IS IRISH CATHOLIC.BUT WENT ALONG WITH MY SON. I THERE TEMPLE THE TEACH THE YOUNG PEOPLE TO READ DIRECTLY FROM THE TORAH PORTION, WHICH WAS UNHEARD OF IN MY DAY. HE DID GREAT AND MADE US PROUD , AS WAS HIS MOTHER. IT WAS . MY HOPE THESE VALUES WILL LAST.GLORIOUS !
All the best to the family of Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones. Beautiful children. Their love for each other inspires.

joyfully watched this 4 times & the warmth I felt for the Douglas family was inspiring. Dylan seems like the kindest 14 year old son...very proud

Kol' ha kovod leha, Mikle!!!
Wonderful 💖🥰😘
The older he gets, the more he looks like his dad.
But his mother is not Jewish, only his father, so to the Orthodox community he isn't even Jewish, but oh well. He's a hegemenite Jew. My great grandfather was a Jew. He left to Europe from our native country in Eastern Europe.
Aside from a self definition of a Jew, his speech was very moving.

Seriously - until this moment - 2017 May 13 - I never knew Michael Douglas was a Jew.
I STILL have no idea what defines a "jew".
hazak u' Baruch!
ALL GLORY AND HONOR TO GOD

Trustworthy.

Whenever a Reform Jew says 'tikkun olam' I lose any interest in bla-bla-bla that follows. It's like a password into irrelevance.
Not inspired, Just stating a fact; hopefully he will also see the light of voting for the house of Israel first.

The height of hypocrisy, because you have defiled the displaced and oppressed Palestinian people
