Orthodox Jews or very observant Jews: Since I am not orthodox, how in the world can I be if...?
my parents won't buy kosher food, make me go to the doctor on Saturday, never go to synogogue anymore, don'y study the Torah with me, I don't know what most Hebrew words mean, and I never had a Bar Mitzvah? I feel very small, lonely, sad, and excluded compared to what I feel like is right. I am conservative right now but love studying the Torah.
Thank you.
@Avarah- Sorry. My dad was brought up conservative, and my mom was brought up reform. My dad still went to synagogue near many orthodox Jews.
@Aravah- I believe I am a reform Jew right now.
@Aravah- I believe I am a reform Jew right now.
@Aravah- I believe I am a reform Jew right now.
@Aravah- I believe I am a reform Jew right now.
@Avarah- A Jew also knows who stupid and mean you're sounding and are. Tfil Olam is a virtue in Judaism. Instead of judging me, love thy neighbor as thyself as God commanded Moses and the Israelites after they were freed from Egypt.
You should not care too much about the mistakes or the knowledge of this world, for the Zeal of the Lord of Hosts is a jealous God, shewing mercy unto people under the grace of His righteous emotions and His righteous ways. You should care about making this world a better place, and obviously you don't. Study the Torah more and then come back with your false thoughts about Judaism.
There is one God- Here oh Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. I did not have a Bar Miztvah. Instead of focusing on a mistake of mine, focus on what you can be doing to change certain habits and bring good spirits to this world.
Shalom loser.
