ADD REQUESTS: If you add me, please send me a note if your profile is private. I generally will add people, but prefer to check to make sure things are okay. That said, if you worship dead men and call him by an inaccurate name that isn't even a name, most likely because you have not a clue about Ivrit and buy into nonsense, then expect to be denied. I have better things to do with my time.
Shalom, I'm Netanya, Neti for short. I have been called many things from an idealist to being obstinate. I claim most of the terms, although a few are without cause or accuracy. I am a teacher and becoming frum. For those who know what that means, I have not completely lost my mind, as I am not so sure I ever had it in the first place. I feel drawn and I am following what I believe to be right for me. I do not believe everyone has to do the same, so don't feel like it means all that much in terms of the effects on my poor friends. (One really must pity my family and friends for having to put up with me.) I suppose some warning is necessary. I love cats and am quite proud to be an inexorable geek. I am also a vegetarian. No I do not eat fish and yes I know it is parve, nor does it change the fact that I do not eat it. I am who I am and, Baruch Hashem, I like who I am, for the most part...
***Since it has become an issue, I need to explain something. I am a halfie, in other words, a goya. I have not had my gerut, nor will it be any time soon. I fully intend, as I have for quite some time, to convert and become observant. I pick up things as I go. At this point, I am tzniut, abiding kol isha, not shomer negiah, shomer Shabbat with a melacha, lenient kosher, and I still daven mostly in English. I still will stand up for Halacha, even if that makes me a hypocrite, and will say what is on my mind. Someday I hope to be at a point where such things are a bit more justified and not me driving others absolutely nuts with my nuances. Until then, I am learning and working towards becoming frum.***
A few highly recommended videos for you to watch:
Pallywood. Do you know the truth?
The Birth of an Icon. The sequel to Pallywood. I am unsure what to think on this one.
Aliyah Revolution Film!!! Check it out! It is a cute Jewish twist on a familiar film, but with a purpose for Am Yisrael!
IT'S BACK!!! I'm so happy! Once again, the dangers of yeshiva students having too much time!
Israeli-Palestinian Solution! It is all about the children!
Gad Elbaz's Al Neharoth Bavel. This one has made me cry.
