Did you grow up practicing? Like is your family actively involved or is it more of an ethnicity/heritage thing
Just curious, I’m not Jewish although my step dad was Catholic and I spent a few years of my teens going to mass, I never really fully engaged or believed in it but as I got older I felt it would be dishonest to say I didn’t take away any positive concepts from Catholicism
I understand the feeling of being conflicted as the reality of the issues present in certain parts of human culture become painfully obvious while still longing to feel connected to or proud of certain elements of ourselves
I grew up as an actively practicing religious Orthodox Jew, my family is mostly Orthodox, today im not practicing but the culture and ideas have shaped me fundamentally in ways that I can never unlearn. All I can do is reject reaction to the best of my ability and take the good.

We will fight to fix the world, and teach better lessons to the next generation.
At the end of our fight, we will die, and our flaws will go with us.
