My Thoughts on Being Jewish

I think being Jewish is very important because belonging to a group and having a G-d is vital for life because I am able to communicate with a higher being. I feel that I am very close to G-d because you need to be when you have Autism. I feel part of the community because I go to Shul (Synagogue) and school. I pray in my own way. Burning Bread before Passover Josh by the Chanuka Candles Preparing for Prayers I believe very strongly in Moshiach (The Messiah) and I want Him to come now. When Moshiach comes, there will be no pain or suffering. I think that Moschiach will be a very holy person. Josh's Barmitzvah Yes, my barmizvah was very special, because I was with my family. Not having had any good friendships made me feel closer to G-d (we asked Josh if this was because he had made a closer connection to G-d in the absence of other relationships and he typed “YES”) Josh's P.A. Prepares for Talmudic Study Siyum to Celebrate The Completion of a Section of Talmud. Visiting Holy Sites I found it very hard to feel and be Jewish, because when at my residential school, I felt that I was no different to everyone else. (i.e. I had no sense of being Jewish because there was no Jewish input.) The importance of having Jewish facilitators is because they understand me. I feel that I belong to the community: one belongs to a community if they are Jewish. They provide me with love, care and support. Like any other Jew, I go to Shul (Synagogue), I help others, I educate.
