Never realised it was hard...But now I see what you mean.I'm the only Jew in my school and neighborhood, so for breakfast at school,the cafeterias always serve non-kosher stuff like 'bacon burgers' and things. And I hear the taste good too. *planning on writing a complaint some time* And I can't remember saying a prayer in along time -_-' Everyones always buisy on shabot.
As far as converting goes, people have a choice if they want to believe in somthing else, go ahead. But if converters come to the door... *grabs chainsaw*As for Inter marrages, I'm pretty sure I'll end up marrying(If I marry) some roman catholic dude (although I'm aiming for a sikh)(Don't ask...) but who knows. I'm find with inter marrages. And I'm planning on adopting from a rural country in Asia(Cambodia, Korea etc..) or Africa, so if they have any idea what the kids mom and dad were, I'll just get one of my friends to teach 'em 'bout their religon. Yeah... I'm to reform... But I wore a costume to school on Purim, so yeah. I talk to much..

I've noticed it's getting harder and harder to keep kosher where I live when I decide to eat meat (it's fairly rare, actually). People put pork in everything! No one bothered to tell me that many meatballs have pork in them xp

Isalithe I've noticed it's getting harder and harder to keep kosher where I live when I decide to eat meat (it's fairly rare, actually). People put pork in everything! No one bothered to tell me that many meatballs have pork in them xp I've learned to be specific when eating out or when grocerie shopping. If I want hotdogs I check the package, if I order chili in a restaurant I ask what kind of chili it is and whats in it. Same with soups. That being said I don't keep strictly kosher. I have a bad habit of saying "It's sushi, it doesn't count."

Amitzah I've learned to be specific when eating out or when grocerie shopping. I know I should have been more careful, but I'm used to my mother making meatballs with beef. It's a shame because they were just fantastic. Oh well, I guess I can just go and get the beggie lasagne or something.

Sometimes the veggie burger in restaurants tastes better than the regular. XD And I'm going to sleep now while I still sorta make sense. <3

mellella the hardest thing for me is when everybody around me is listening to non-jewish music Ah, our uber-observant Lubavitch girl. See, I've never really hung out with anyone that observant. I mean- you don't listen to secular music? Wow. That must take a lot. Do you go to a public school or a religious school?

Wow, reading this, I see I've been REALLY, REALLY bad.... sweatdrop Growing up with reform parents in a Christian town doesn't help keep me observant I guess.
One thing I've noticed, Jewish women are better, they tell you what's up, whether you like it or not. xp

as far as how much judaism has changed......well it hasnt. its only you and your peers who are changing the religion. if you wanna keep kosher, then look for stuff with a hecture (like ou) poeple get paid to let make sure which foods are kosher or not. you cant pick and choose which parts of a religion to follow. its your obligation as a jew to be jewish. being jewish is not just an identity its how you live. if you dont wanna be jewish then admit it and convert. its really sad when the only way to tell if someone is jewish is if they dont have a christmas tree.

People can tell with me... I wear a magen david every day. And I miss a whole lot of school days for holidays. But honestly? I'm not able to follow things to the letter of the law. I just couldn't do it. All of it is a huge part of my life, but I do enough that I'm comfortable with things.

Kiashana mellella the hardest thing for me is when everybody around me is listening to non-jewish music Ah, our uber-observant Lubavitch girl. See, I've never really hung out with anyone that observant. I mean- you don't listen to secular music? Wow. That must take a lot. Do you go to a public school or a religious school? well, i go to a school for lubavitch people. but that does not mean everybody that goes there is lubavitch. i mean most of my friends at school are not. and they always talk about the music they listen to and different singers, but im never included because i cant listen to secular music. yet, being with them, i am educated in that area.

I feel like the young Jews who went into Palestine before Israel was established. I don't really consider myself religious, as I don't attend service(for Judaism or Christianity), I don't celebrate significant holidays, but I still feel a strong bond to my people and to Israel, even having never been there.
I don't intend to be buried in a Jewish cemetary, either. I want to be cremated and have the carbon from my cremation be turned into a diamond for my son(if I have one) to wear on a ring or something.
I'm actually hoping to move to Israel in five years or so.
