I'm Jewish, though I'm having a really difficult time finding a community to fit into.
Yeah, finding an actual community is hard sometimes.
The sage Hillel, about 2100 years ago, was dared by a pagan to recite all of Torah while standing on one leg. If he could do that, the pagan said, he'd win a convert. Hillel stood on one leg and said, "What is hateful unto thyself, do not do unto thy neighbor. That is the whole of Torah; the rest is commentary. Now go and study it.")
Oh, wow - great story. And I love the line.
I'm pretty open on most supernatural stuff, and am not sure why it's thought to somehow be a threat to monotheism
I don't get that either. And I also believe in ghosts, and think there's very logical reasons for them to exist. (I think its possible they have something that's keeping them on earth, and only go to Heaven when they feel content to leave earth).
