The advice given is to be strong and to not discourage Jewish identity in public. The speaker says they cannot stand when Jewish parents tell their kids to remove their yarmulke if they are nervous walking in the streets, and rejects the idea of saying “Hajjaj Mogen David.” The speaker claims that doing this “they win,” and that it would be almost preferable to see “that than a dead body in the street of Tel Aviv.” The speaker urges parents not to tell their kids to remove religious symbols, even when parents feel nervous. The speaker describes having a son who goes to school in Chelsea and a daughter who recently returned from London, calling those places “a rough place for three years,” while still insisting that taking off the yarmulke is a “disservice to the Jewish people fighting for us in Israel.” The speaker addresses the audience and calls for Jewish people to “wear your yarmulke proudly” and to “wear your High proudly,” to “show everybody that you’re Jewish,” emphasizing not hiding Jewishness and instead flaunting it. The speaker concludes by quoting from the movie *Goodfellas*: if someone gets “your ass kicked once in a while,” it’s okay, because “you’ll go to bed that night a proud Jew,” and people should not hide the fact that they are Jewish but “flaunt it.”
