 4 Misconceptions Jews Have About Judaism
by Rabbi Nechemia Coopersmith, AISH.COM & VirtualJerusalem.com
Here are 4 common misconceptions many Jews have about Judaism.
1) "JUDAISM IS EITHER ALL OR NOTHING"
All those commandments to keep? You've got to be kidding.
Many people think that if they can't take on the whole Jewish kit'n'kaboodle, then there's no point in getting started.
But is that really true?Is traditional Judaism an all-or-nothing proposition?
Imagine stumbling across a gold mine. Would you turn down the gold because you know you won't find ALL the gold mines in the world? That one mine alone will make you rich for life!
Every mitzvah is a gold mine. Even if we do just part of a mitzvah, our lives are enriched forever.
Judaism is a process, a journey, where every step counts.
It's NOT all or nothing.
Whatever we're able to do right now is great!
Just do it.
One step at a time.
