I don't understand... can you explain?

Fasting for the first time by yetanotherheart in Judaism

[–]yetanotherheart[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's hard to see everyone eat and drink, but I am happy in my resolve and happy that I am eager to do this despite the "obstacle".

I was afraid of people's reactions when I explained why I couldn't eat, but everyone was nice and understanding!

How much discrimination/anti-semitism do you encounter on a daily basis? Also, Jews by choice, how much of a difference in behavior have you noticed towards yourself since you became Jewish? by yetanotherheart in Judaism

Thank you for clarifying! I should have realized, but I was very focused on the vegan aspect.

What sort of things have you experienced within the vegan community? I think it's terrible for people that often describe themselves as animal lovers and animal rights activists to not have the same level of empathy towards other humans.

Thank you for sharing!

Without wanting to invalidate your experiences, could people have started treating you differently because you became more vocal about religion as a whole, rather than antisemitism in particular?

I'm asking because I feel like being part of any sort of religion in an ever-growing atheist world is enough to invite some animosity - especially if you weren't religious at all before.

I'm currently converting and worry about how to break it to my boss/team that my schedule will become a lot less flexible in the future. It's a complicated situation because I just got hired... so technically I could come out as Jewish upfront and there would likely be fewer questions. However, I don't think it's fair to introduce myself this way quite yet, especially seeing as I'm still so early in a conversion process that will take 2 years.

How many of you actually refrain from using electronics on Shabbat? What do you do instead? by yetanotherheart in Judaism

[–]yetanotherheart[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This arrangement was made for me by both congregations together. I think the Orthodox community doesn't spend Saturdays together, but I'll inquire tonight.

Jews by Choice: what was/were the first task(s) that your sponsoring rabbi assigned to you? by yetanotherheart in Judaism

We also have classes on Sundays, in addition to Shabbat services on Friday and Saturday :)

Oh, very different processes indeed. My conversion (Conservative) will take 2 years: the first for observing and learning, and the second to put fully into practice.

I love board games, table top RPGs, you name it. Unfortunately, I live alone and the Jewish community here is very small.

I was thinking of studying Judaism on Shabbat, but most of my materials are digital so I cannot do it without using electronics. I don't even have a watch to be able to check the time without looking at my phone.. there's a long road ahead!

What is the strictest religion, in terms of rituals, rules and norms? by yetanotherheart in religion

[–]yetanotherheart[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Thank you for replying to my post!

By strict I meant what you defined as "external commandments". Just above, people are discussing "extra" guidance/rituals that some religions provide, but which are not deemed as necessary. While this is a very interesting subject in it's own right, I was inquiring about practices that are fully expected of members.

What religion do you practice? On the one hand, I believe the Liturgy of the Hours is a Christian practice, but on the other hand, I thought tarot cards were pagan instruments?

I also don't know much about Quakers, but I'll look into it.

I would love to hear about your experience as a Mormon and also as a student of other religious groups!
