I love being Jewish, but I feel like the rigidity and rules of orthodoxy stress me out to a point where I’m completely put off by the religion. I once had a Rebbetzin say that Judaism is not as Smorgasburg but doesnt everyone pick and choose? I’m someone of a BT so when she said that I understood where she was coming from but completely disagreed. At the same time, I have a lot of anxiety and shame around not being able to just wanna follow everything. my dream would be able to enjoy Judaism and be apart of a community without feeling the need to do every little thing. I find keeping Shabbos beautiful but find other halachos feel inaunthentic and archaic. Help.
