Oh Vey!



As of 10:30 am I am officially part of the Jewish Faith. I am delighted to be part of the Jewish community. Judaism emphasizes life as it is lived on earth, rather than the afterlife, importance is placed on working to repair the world; to struggle against injustice, to make life better for all, especially the poor and oppressed. It's one reason why so many Jews are active in causes that support freedom, justice and well-being for all peoples. It is part of the fabric of being Jewish, a fabric I wish to be part of. I can see myself growing with Judaism and nurturing a Jewish family. A family built on community, compassion, honesty, tradition, and a strong value system.
