Religiously Speaking

This weeks topic, brought to you by Mel @ Me!!!, was to talk about what our favorite thing about our religion is.


My mom once asked me what love was. "How did I know I was in love?" was her exact question. I looked at her funny and tried to describe what I was feeling. However, I really couldn't put it into words. That's how I feel about this topic. I can't put my thoughts on it into words.

I thought if I ruminated about it long enough I would come up with at least one I thing I liked most about my religion and why, I would write about. When the words weren't coming to me I starting talking about it with a friend of mine thinking that would strike a cord and I would have an "ah-ha" moment. That would open of the flood gates and the words would pour out. Yeah . . . not so much.


I'm not the most religious/observant person in the world and G-d knows I have strayed from my Judaism on many occasion. None of this means/meant I wasn't a believer; it just means/meant that I am taking the journey, spiritually, that is meant for me.

I could probably talk about being Jewish from a religious and cultural perspective. I could discuss why I enjoy the holidays. Or, even tell you about some of the principles of Judaism that I find interesting. That still wouldn't capture how I feel.

All I can say is that I do have faith in G-d and I am proud, and honored, to be Jewish. It's a faith and pride that can never be taken away from me - even during the times I try to take it away from myself.
