My ancestry is one hundred percent Jewish on both sides, but I was raised Jewish Christian. When I was a kid, people who asked me about my family’s religion looked puzzled when I said this, though (as is usual with children) it seemed normal to me. My grandparents became Christians not to assimilate or hide their Jewishness but because friends and personal revelations had convinced them.
Juliana, I appreciate how you've leaned into the many facets of who you as you work to improve and make sense of this world we live in. And I love this reminder: "Religion is supposed to serve as guidance for living well in and with the world." Hugs ~ Jan
Glorious picture of a very long rabbit hole, I love it! Julie, thank you for your witness about Israel. It is so helpful to me. I agree with you and your tone of "voice" is so reasonable and clear. I just really appreciate you writing this piece.
Thanks for this thoughtful piece- and best of luck with the draft!

Thanks for sharing. So much trauma everywhere. The time to take care of each other (and our earth) is now.
Well put Juliana!
Julie, Thank you for your courageous and clear article. I wish you could send it to the Washington Post where more people will read it!
Love, Wendy

thank you Julie--I have been musing too and have found there's little clarity on the issues, the history and a productive way forward
