This was so amazing and relatable! I really loved that through your writing I was able to witness how you grew from this experience and took such meaning from it. Even though this makes so much sense, this concept of togetherness amidst difference, and appreciating that difference, is an idea I've never taken the time to reflect on, so this was a really important read. I loved this line in particular: " Judaism, at its core, places great importance on the idea of community, on supporting others and letting them support you. It’s what has allowed Jews, through thousands of years of persecution and separation, to trust each other. Community is what makes me proud to be Jewish.", and found this line to be quite funny:"Not because of their voices, to be clear—it was easy to discern that few in that dinner hall would be professionally pursuing music."
Great piece!!
