I was watching the bones finale, where bones temporarily lost her ability to practice her skill and is presented with a sudden identity crisis. Who is she without her skills and knowledge to practice? What was her value in society?

This got me thinking! Each one of us has an identity, professionally or otherwise. But what happens if we take that identity away? What is left?

For some people, their identity may be all they have, and may feel down if that was no longer the case. While others realize that it is only one aspect of their life and they are still the same people. So what makes one feel one way or the other?
I believe it is a case of what came first? One's self worth or their identity? Is one's self worth tied to their identity or is it irrespective of their identity? (I.e. does one feel they are important because of said identity or are they the same person regardless of their status)

...For those of us who are cleaning for Passover, let's remember that even if we don't get every last crumb, we are still good Jewish people :)
