Rabbi Yehudah Strong Bow

Shalom! I'm Proud to be just a white and nerdy Yiddishkeit!

About Me

I am a Netzari Jew, I have Jewish and Cherokee (Judaokee) ancestory, and love to incorporate both traditions into my life. From wearing Teffilin when I pray, to smudgeing before I pray. I am happily married with children. I am a very organized, yet creative person. I'm your classic melancholy with a touch of cholaric, "A" type personality. I hate shallow and trivial conversation and things. I want to feast on the deep marrow of life and suck it dry! I like to fill every second of my life with meaningful things, life is to short for anything less. I love symbolism, mystisism and spirituality. I like to daven (pray) and study. I am VERY involved in Judaism."If you make yourself more than just a man, if you devote yourself to and Idea, and if they can't stop you, then you become something else entirely... Legend." - Ra's Al Ghul from Batman Begins"What is it that makes a man? Is it his origins, the way things start?... I don't think so. It is the choices he makes. The way he does things and how he decides to end them." -- Hellboy the Movie"Sometimes, to do what's right, we have to be steady and give up the things we want the most, even our dreams." -- Peter Parker: Spiderman 2
