About Lost in the Jewniverse
I can't help but feel disoriented as I go across the huge Jewniverse. Although I've always prided myself on being a proud Jew, this place is much larger and more complicated than I could have ever anticipated. I found an odd portal in my neighbourhood synagogue, and that was how it all began. I'm not sure what drew me inside, but as soon as I did, I was sucked into a world that beyond even my wildest expectations. Everywhere I looked, there were vibrant colours, sounds, and smells that I'd never experienced before. I soon realized that the Jewniverse was a place where anything was possible. I encountered talking matzo balls, levitating dreidels, and even a wise old rabbi who offered me guidance on my journey. But as I wandered further into this mysterious realm, I began to feel overwhelmed. The sheer magnitude of the Jewniverse was staggering. I became disoriented in a sea of divergent traditions, beliefs, and practises. Some Jews practised rigorous Orthodoxy, while others adopted more liberal approaches to our religion. Some of them were Ashkenazi, while others were Mizrahi. There were Jews of various colours, sizes, and forms, and they all had distinctive life stories to share.
