I was having such epiphanies in the car this morning on the way to work. Of course I’ve forgotten them all now. The more I try to “be observant” the more satisfying it is–but at the same time I don’t want to go too far so that I feel like I’ve failed if I decrease the mitzvot I am doing.
I emailed the askmoses.com website to ask about covering my hair, since I’m not married officially by Halacha, and they replied that if I was already donig it I should continue…but since I had already stopped by the time I emailed–I decided not to.
Actually, I am feeling more and more comfortable with my/our level of observance in our home.
I spend a lot of our free time with kids in Jewish educational type activities (i.e. if we watch a movie, it might be on the topic–if we read a storybook, it is often a Jewish kids book, etc).
I say brachas often, and we celebrate the Sabbath, although not doing everything correctly, we do have dinner/candle lighting/kiddush etc and try to spend Saturdays in family activity including going to Shul, visiting the Rabbi’s house, etc…
That’s my update for now. Till next time…
