I'm not a teen, but ok. I started to get into it when I was 21 I think. I used to hate it. I know how to read and say Hebrew fluently, but I might only understand half of it. I know bits of Yiddish. I went through a couple of years of French and become almost fluent. I took some Russian, and know the basics of it. I know some Greek through a Greek history class (Yes, we had to learn some of it, it was kind of cool.) I know some German. Bits of Spanish. Even less of Irish Gaelic. Finally, I'm learning Japanese on my own right now. Just getting the basics down. sweatdrop

Kippah sruga = crocheted kippah. But I think what you mean is Modern Orthodox, yes?

IRL Stuff - My name is becca. I live in South Florida. i'm 30 years old. married with a house, but no kids yet. crying I have PCOS, which complicates things on that matter.

My mother is Jewish, but I wasn't really raised with any level of observance or religious education. So as a teenager, I turned to paganism. I liked it, and I still like various aspects of it. But when I went to get married, I started to self learn about Judaism and found out much of the same elements can be found right here in my home religion. So, I'm a bit unique. I can't really find conclusive words to describe my spirituality. I guess you could say i'm jewitch renewal earth-loving liberal feminist. Yeah.... i'm wierd. lol.

I've also been on Birthright Israel trip, which was awesome!

Gaia Info - I am usually over in the Gaia Community Projects area or working on my guild. I also play zOMG from time to time.

Occupation - I'm a housewife. I would like to have a better job, but not money for college + economy sux = sad
