Something to Be Proud of?

I just was reading an email with the title: "Something to be truly proud of." It was a list of Jews who have accomplished (40 times more than any ethnic group, proportionally) great feats of literature, arts, science, etc.

Is that something to be "truly" proud of? Um...yeah, sure. We're proud of them. Really, we are-they've done great things, and it's wonderful!

But is that it? Is that the sum of all things, physical achievements? I hope not.

The question might become, "Are we any more proud of them than we are of non-Jews who accomplish similar great things?"

We should be proud if we are doing G-d's will.
