PP here + I noticed that too which is why I thought OP might be interested in Reconstructionism - she’s obviously still learning about denominations (and that’s 100% OK!)

OP, you might enjoy this link:

Thanks for the article! It was an interesting read!

I'm just excited to dive in and get involved - wherever that may lead me![/quote]

You are very welcome. There’s a lot of good resources on that site for those of us who are “Jew-ish” as they say. I love how excited you are. Welcome ❤️🕎[/quote]

OP here.

Thank you!

I am taking an introduction class that started in early November. I watch videos on YouTube, read articles, and I recently received a Tanakh - which is neat because I've never owned even a Christian Bible before.

I started reading it on the first night of Hanukkah this year, funnily enough![/quote]

If you have nerdy tendencies, there’s a wonderful book called “These Are The Words: a vocabulary of Jewish spiritual life” by Arthur Green. It’s a sort of expanded glossary, and goes into the roots and context of many terms. I really enjoy flipping through it. You might find it a fun addition to your studies![/quote]

OP here.

Cool, I will check it out! I love doing research (in probably weird in that regard), but I'm just soaking up as much as I can!

The Rebbetzin I'm taking the class with, sometimes isn't the most organized. The very first class I asked a question about which term to describe G-d should people use. I understand there are different meanings and contexts but it still isn't 100% clear yo me, so having another resource like the one you mentioned is always appreciated!

I also love watching Tovia on YouTube. Took me a bit of time to like him (sounds odd) but he is such a wealth of knowledge.[/quote]
