Shabbat Shalom

May we all have peace and safety on Shabbat!  May our soldiers be effective and return home safely.  And may our hostages be returned safe, healthy and whole.

When most people hear the word “religious extremist,” they think of violence, recruitment, martyrdom, someone trying to convert the world, or destroy part of it in the name of God.

But in Judaism, our extremists… check lettuce for bugs.

They avoid tearing toilet paper on Shabbat.

They won’t eat a soup if it was cooked with the wrong pot.

They learn thousands of laws that most Jews today have never even heard of.

They study from dawn until midnight.

They pray every word in a siddur slowly, carefully, like if they are counting diamonds.

They live around it. They raise their families inside of it. Their entire life flows with halacha — Jewish law.

That’s our “extremism.” they don't conquer. They don't convert. They don't commit violence.

They leads a peaceful, repetitive, structured life, that’s built on restraint, discipline, holiness, and loyalty.

Other religions, once you’re in, you’re in. You can join in five minutes and never do anything again. Say a few words and that’s it — you’re in. It doesn’t require much. You can believe whatever you want as long as you show up sometimes, maybe say a prayer or two.

Judaism however, you can be born into it, have a Jewish mother, a Jewish name, and still lose it, in a single generation.

You just have to stop doing.

Stop marrying Jewish.

Stop keeping anything.

Stop caring.

And just like that, the chain ends.

That’s the part nobody talks about. Judaism is not a loose, feel-good identity you carry in your bio or remember on holidays. It’s a daily responsibility. It’s filled with structure, boundaries, choices. It’s a way of living that literally tells you how to eat, speak, dress, sleep, raise your kids, and yes — even how to be intimate.

People love to borrow pieces of it, the food, the holidays, the stories.

But they don’t want the weight.

They want the aesthetic, not the commitment.

Everyone wants Jewish wisdom, resilience, art, and Jewish depth.

Few want the rules.

Few want the restrictions.

Few want the 613 commandments that hold it all together.

And this is where the Orthodox Jews come in.

They’re not an old-fashioned tribe holding Judaism back.

They’re the ones holding it up.

They marry Jewish so their children will be Jewish.

They send those children to Jewish schools, where they learn Jewish law, history, and Jewish thought.

They build homes where Shabbat isn’t symbolic, it’s a 25-hour reality.

They structure their lives around the rhythm of Jewish time, around holidays, prayer, modesty, purity, community, Torah study.

And while the world may call that extreme, it’s actually the only thing that kept Judaism alive.

Every single Jew today has someone in their family tree who took it seriously enough to pass it on. Someone who didn’t give in to convenience. Someone who sacrificed for it. Someone who carried the full version, not the edited one.

Because Judaism doesn’t survive by accident. It’s too demanding for that.

And here’s something else: no one has Christian DNA. No one has Muslim blood. But  we have Jewish DNA. You can test for it, trace it, and see the physical imprint of Jewish peoplehood going back generations.

We are not just a religion. We are a nation, a family, people with shared memory and obligation.

And that memory only survives when someone chooses to carry the whole thing — not just the parts that feel good.

So yes, call it extreme, or too much. But understand this: if it weren’t for those “extremists” — the ones keeping thousands of laws, building Jewish homes, avoiding shortcuts — there’d be nothing left to call Jewish at all.

Our extremists aren’t burning buildings.

They’re lighting candles.

They aren’t radicalizing others.

They’re just trying to raise Jewish kids.

They don’t scream on street corners.

They whisper blessings before every bite of food.

They don’t conquer.

They preserve.

And in a world that’s forgotten what it means to commit, that kind of “extreme” is the most beautiful thing we have left.

Nobody is outraged 😭

No protest for the Christians murdered in Nigeria 😭

Only Israel and Christian resources are reporting on the horror that is happening there .

This is what TRUE genocide is

The world focuses on the fake genocide in Gaza while ignoring the real genocide in Nigeria.

This is so heartbreaking 💔

Please pray for the Christians in Nigeria 🙏

Beautiful prayer 🙏 Amen and Amen 🙏

Dear God, I may not understand why everything is happening in my life right now, but I just want to say that I trust You. Amen.
