Okay, my humor's nothing to write home about.
I hope you all don't mind, but I'm going to get a bit more serious here. And yes, I will be turning off comments for now.
My other blog is more of an anti-religious place, while this place can be more pro-religious.
I wanted to discuss reasons why I might want to go back on the derech. No, not to get anyone's hopes up, just to clear my head a little.
Well, I don't believe in God, and I wasn't that happy being frum anyway. However, it's the community I was raised in, and I'm much more familiar with it than anything else. I might even go so far as to say I'm more comfortable there than anywhere else. Maybe.
Mayebe I can be somewhat Orthoprax, and just be a regular frum guy again, with less obligations? Kind of just play the part, without committing too much?
Just thinking.

ReplyDeleteI am not frum nor was I ever so I don't how hard it is to live within that framework. I do understand your desire to be part of a community. It's important to most people but I think especially for us(Jews). What are your thoughts on it lately? I am not advocating anything except getting through this life with as little pain as possible. If you see a way to do it with less or little commitment then go for it. Frum or not frum Jews need to stick together. Good luck brother!
Lisanoor: I don't know. I guess community is valuable, but many of my experiences with the community have been horrendous. But I guess I'll eventually find some sort of a Jewish community where I feel comfortable.
