Because I’m not “a good Jew”* – I’m not a practicing, religious Jew. I don’t enjoy going to my local synagogue or the people there, and I don’t understand the prayers or the faith in God or all the words, so many words. I don’t like being charged to be a member, or the exorbitant fees for special events, or being expected to think, feel, and believe like others do in order to fit in. But I AM a Jew, and I’m happy about that, and I want the people I interact with on a daily basis to know that this smiling, friendly person who just helped them when they dropped something, or patted their dog, or enjoyed the same view, is Jewish.
*thanks to those of you who pointed out that this kind of categorization isn’t beneficial. I’m Jewish. Period.
