There are many different ways of practicing Judaism that are amongst us today‚ and many different types of people that practice them.

Dharma is “basically… understood as the social

In fourth grade‚ I was given a homework assignment of the worst nature my nine-year-old brain could envision: an essay. My entire class erupted with sighs and groans as my teacher explained the assignment: interview someone you know and write a biography. I was stumped; I didn’t think anyone in my family was interesting. I didn’t have an uncle that was a firefighter or cousin that was an astronaut. I had absolutely no idea who to write about. At dinner that night‚ my parents suggested I interview
