Until Everything is Complete
Dayenu! Mazel tov! Latkes! Any of those words sounds familiar? Well, most of the words previously mentioned are common words to know? even if you have not been exposed to the Jewish culture. Because of my location that I have grown up in, few people outside my synagogue know that ethnic Jews and Gentiles believing… Continue reading Until Everything is Complete
Worthless Insecurities
Valentine's day! My absolute favorite holiday. This is my last post about V-Day I promise! Well at least for a year. 😉 Yesterday I had a "Makeover day."

Go Ahead and Call Me an Angry Feminist
I gladly call myself a feminist. To many the word feminist is almost a cuss word. After realizing that I am a feminist, my (former) friends first response was, "Feminist are annoying." Honestly I had no idea how to respond to this comment. She went on to explain how if women were truly equal, men would not… Continue reading Go Ahead and Call Me an Angry Feminist
Yes, I Do Dance at Church
As I have written about before, my parents have raised in me in the Messianic Jewish church/traditions. Well, in the region of America that I live in, there are few Jews (believing or non-believing).

You are sitting in church listening to your Rabbi teach. In the room there are several new and young mothers. Somewhere a baby starts making small noises. The mom becomes embarrassed and tries anything that she can do to quiet her child. After five minutes the baby calms down; the mother is still embarrassed but… Continue reading The Screaming Baby At Church
Age Vs. Wisdom
If you know me personally, you know that I'm a "nerd." I'm not a "nerd" in the way that some people are passionate about comic books, video games, or rock bands. I am very passionate about self educating myself, helping others, art, writing, making and listening to classical music, and I try to always find… Continue reading Age Vs. Wisdom
Red Light, Green Light
Red light, green light, have you ever played that childhood game? In my childhood I cannot tell you how many endless hours that I spent playing this simple game with my friends at ice skating lessons. If you don't know what the point of the game is, it is to be the first one to… Continue reading Red Light, Green Light
Mayim In The Desert
A dry hot, cracked, bare landscape waiting for water. Any guesses? A dessert! Just kidding a desert! Last night at Shabbat my Rabbi's closing words were, "G-d will NOT leave you in the desert." And so Saturday's post topic is faith in the desert. In the Old Testament book of Joshua we read about the… Continue reading Mayim In The Desert
