Feeling Discouraged for Not Being Fully Jewish
Hello! I am someone who has Jewish an cestry.
Before learning about my identity, I had always been into the Jewish culture & religion.
I was highly involved in college and always wanted to be a part of the tribe but didn't feel like I would fully belong. Up until recently, I built up the courage to visit a synagogue and attend classes and Friday services.
So far, I have spoken with my rabbi who is sponsoring me but sometimes I feel discouraged when I get dirty looks for asking maybe "uneducated questions".
I am also questioned by a few of the members for not knowing fluent Hebrew during prayer times.
I know they don't mean harm but the sometimes judgemental looks and actions can be discouraging. Especially when they know I'm not fully Jewish.
How can I ignore the sometimes negative moments and not allow it from discouraging me?
