Why I am a child of Israel
I have been studying it since the late 1990s, when I stooped low to pick up the Torah. I don’t do this primarily to gain more knowledge; for a study that does not lead to „good deeds“ based on all 613 commandments of the Torah is hollow and empty. The direction of the Torah makes its ethics and instructions for living a life that makes HaShem smile a part of us and our everyday lives.
I can’t imagine that you can imagine the world in a beautiful way, otherwise we would all be philosophers. If you want to improve them, one “good deed” leads to another. It is essential for me that I engage with the words of the Torah and rabbinic interpretations at least once a week and then ask myself each time: What does G-d expect of me?!!
Definitely nothing impossible, but to walk humbly and practice love. That is exactly why I am a child of Israel.
