I assume they’re not good? People who are so self righteous, generally aren’t that righteous.

My rabbi doesn’t feel the need to tell me how religious he is, or how bad he thinks I am. He’ll probably stay frum.

I feel like she adopted this pose of being very religious to dress up being a hardcore social conservative. She trashed ‘less religious’ Jews. Then she wanders off because, yes, being an Orthodox Jew is A LOT HARDER than being an evangelical Christian. It just is. She should have known that going in.

And because it was hard, and because she didn’t feel the warm fuzzy vibes she needed, and because the Jewish community didn’t make a big enough deal out of her, she stomped off…OK, it happens, but rather than saying ‘my spiritual path is going somewhere else’ or something, she makes it Judaism’s fault. It’s never her fault, it’s always someone else’s fault—and lo and behold, she’s suddenly spouting the usual Christian criticism’s of Judaism—too cold, too much praxis—and bashing rabbis who want to put up menorahs, and….eeeeeccchhh.
