balmofgilead

I think for me there's always the suspicion that someone who isn't Jewish just can't really understand me or where I come from. I mean, how can someone who isn't Jewish understand that my personal identity is the product of millenia of Jewish ancestors? I may have no personal problem eating ham on Yom Kippur (for example) but I never feel very far from my Jewishness. It is always part of me, no matter how I approach the actual mitzvot part of Judaism.
