To be a Jew
January 23, 2009
I have a Jewish mind,
But I have not Jewish skin.
Nor hair,
Nor body,
Nor nose.
Yet I am a Jew.
I close my eyes and hear the Sh’mah,
I see the tents of Mah Tovu,
I feel God’s hand in my soul
And feel both liberty and control.
I am a Jew,
I am Israel,
I am chosen.
I am one among One,
For there is no Jewish body but Jewish soul.

I totally understand. I am Jewish, and my Rabbi is always talking about how we always have a Jewish soul, even if we convert. Beautiful!
