More than a book,
a Torah or two,
more than just
reciting prayers
in a foreign language.
Judaism means being able
to let go of your fears,
and trust G‑d
to take care of them
as long as you
believe and praise
and thank Him.

Judaism means... a poem Dear Sierra, I very much like your poem. I like the truth in it as well as the simplicity. Truth is simple. I can tell you by my own experience. First you let go of your fears and believe in Him and praise Him and thank Him, and it does not take long and you fall in love with Him, you are in love with G-d, the one who created you. That will make you totally happy. Reply
Yeah! Sierra, you got it right! Keep believing, keep praising, keep thanking, and before you know it, there it is: the answer, the need met, the right way to go. It isn't always exactly what we expect, but rather, what He has for us.
