Judaism is much more communal, and partly as a consequence of my religious switch, I am increasingly more suspicous of my previous view that what people do in the privacy of their own home is their business alone.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've always enjoyed the communal side of Jewish life.
For I firmly believe that Jewish life, indeed any communal life, can only be organized according to democratic principles.
Judaism for me is a sensibility of collective self-questioning and uncomfortable truth-telling. I feel a debt of responsibility to this past. It is why I am Jewish.
For years, Judaism has been a sort of product put on the religious shelf, and on holidays, we would take it off the shelf and let seculars play with it for a bit. Now, Judaism is going back to being something that more closely touches everyone.
I showed that privacy was an implicit right in Jewish law, probably going back to the second or third century, when it was elaborated on in a legal way.
Judaism is my life. Everything I do is through the lens of Torah.
The Jewish world is becoming fully integrated with the ideas of the normal world. They feed off each other.
Judaism is in all my books.
For me, my business is my business and my house is my house. I don't want the public in my house.
Being among my people is a delight. We Jews live among ourselves. I love it.
