Suddenly Jew

Funny title right? Well, it’s true. I was born Jewish but was never really Jewish. Then I became a Christian. And now, since then, I know more about being Jewish than I had before that. Thanks to Christianity being half about the Old Testament, I understand a lot more about my ancestors and the religion some of my family practices. With that being said, I will be spending my weekend with the Jews and the Spanish. haha. Seriously. My aunt is Jewish. My uncle is Dominican (or Puerto Rican? I never remember which it is) and we’ll all gather for my cousin’s turning 13 extravaganza. aka, her batmitzvah.  I’m excited. 1-because I love my cousins and aunts and uncles and grandma that I only see a few times/year. 2-because it’s a fun reason to get away, hang in a hotel, eat good food and dress pretty. 3-because I love dancing and having fun and 4-because going to temple is just..well..interesting. It’s amazing that the same verse out of the same origination can sound/feel and be preached in different ways. It’s a learning experience.  And I have one last thing to say. Thank God my Aunt paid extra money to have the service in English Rebecca’s was all in Hebrew and man that was hard to understand! haha

So here’s to a weekend allll about Alyssa
