Being Jewish really means a lot to me. I mean, sure, I don’t attend Friday Night Service as much as I should, but I still maintain a relationship with G-d. I like being different from everyone else (I’m the only Jew at my school). I like even looking Jewish; I got the nose thing going. Haha.

This man said it well, 80 years ago:
WHY I AM A JEW
I am a Jew because the faith of Israel demands no
abdication of my mind.
I am a Jew because the faith of Israel questions every
possible sacrifice of my soul.
I am a Jew because in all places where there are tears
and suffering the Jew weeps.
I am a Jew because in every age when the weep of despair
is heard the Jew hopes.
I am a Jew because the message of Israel is the most
ancient and the most modern.
I am a Jew because Israel’s promise is a universal
promise.
I am a Jew because for Israel the world is not finished;
men will complete it.
I am a Jew because for Israel man is not yet fully
made; men are making him.
I am a Jew because Israel places man and his unity
above nations and above Israel itself.
I am a Jew because above man, image of the divine
unity, Israel places the unity which is divine.
— Edmond Fleg, "Why I Am a Jew"

Being Jewish is part of my identity. I don’t believe in God and I never will until there any verifiable proof is set before me, but Judaism is very small about believing in God; it is about the traditions, community, and history. I like that you cannot be Christian or Muslim or something w/o believing in God or Jesus or Muhammad, but Judaism is different; it is special; it is…better.

I am Jewish. It is who I am. I can’t change it any more than I could change being female. It is who I am. It is what connects me to the generations of my family before me. It is who I am.

There are two definitions of a Jew. WHO is as a Jew and WHAT is a Jew. Who answers the blood line. If you are born to a Jewish mother, than you are a Jew. What….. is settled how you live and practice Judaism.
Remember, Judaism is not a relegion or a race.
