Liane's Dvars -- Season ב: "G-d is a very touchy subject. We live in a time where almost anything goes, but one mention of the word and you’re categorized as either an unthinking freak, a scientific atheist. We often avoid the word altogether, leaving our spirituality to fate, destiny, or messages from the universe. Rarely will we assign such awesome powers to a force that has a name. Or a purpose for sending those messages.
Because if we did, the ramifications would be cataclysmic.
When people ask me why I became “religious” I often correct them and explain how I became religious. But the why? The answer to that is easy. I think it’s the right thing to do. "
Editors Note: Its's nice to see other blogs out there sharing their own personal experiences from the point of view of becoming observant of Jewish religious traditions later in life.
