It often seems that we Jews are spiritually unhappy and are always looking to find meaning for our lives in all different places. We always seem to be impressed by people who seem to be so sincere and dedicated to what it is they believe in. We let them take us on a ride through an emotional rollercoaster and lead us into any belief that sort of sounds good. It is important for us to realize that Judaism is the "ORIGINAL" and is the greatest belief system in the world. The problem is that we, in general, know so little about our religion, that we really can't compare it to what we are being sold by missionaries or cults.
We are often fooled by the externals and follow blindly and often go on a path of trying to spread the good news with our families and friends. We look for their approval and blessing of our new found faith which then emboldens us to even go further in our search.
It is time to learn the ORIGINAL and realize the beauty within our own beliefs. We can protect our children by teaching them Judaism with pride and dignity. We are G-ds chosen let,s appreciate it and live it.
