I’m <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Jewish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Jewish</a> by descent (both sides, <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Ashkenazi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ashkenazi</a> & <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Sephardic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sephardic</a>) and am becoming more spiritual as I get older. I was raised in a <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Secular" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Secular</a>/#CryptoJew environment. I grew up with Jewish memes & traditions without understanding any of their importance. Dreidels, Fiddler on the Roof, Passover, and Shel Silverstein are burned into my memories.
