Today, another piece on Gaza. This one, though, is more emotional and personal. I see too much of my own background, too much of how I was raised to understand Judaism in Israel's actions. I stress, this is far from any kind of "real" Judaism. It is one of a great many kinds of Judaism, many understandings of what being Jewish means. the one I was raised with was, well, simply not a very nice version. And on some level, no matter how much I may embrace other Judaisms, this version will always be the most visceral for me. And, luck me Israel reflects it back at me on a regular basis. I explore in Souciant today.
