Judaism: Tradition, Culture, Ceremony, Way More Than Just Religion


The video above is an amazing description of how we all explain the roots of Judaism, and what it means to be Jewish, and his conclusion is as clear as day.

I love reading about Jewish history, this was during WWI when Matza was flown in for Passover for Jewish soldiers all over the world and they were excused from the field to celebrate, it was a grand event!

Recently Hollywood stood tall and proud for Israel, and it lists the 200 people who signed against Hamas, even Ziggy Marley is on the list, WOW.

One of the most wonderful philosophies that Jewish people are raised with is how everything is positive, even the struggle and the hard lessons in life lead to amazing things, so we must live for today, be kind, and shine our light bright.   "Jews, we always like to find a way to say “gam zu l’tova” (this too is for the good) even in the most difficult times."   The following story is the most amazing example, a bomb shelter creates the perfect place to break the ice.

Love my Jewish brothers and sisters all over the world,
Feeling proud to be a part of one big family,
