If We All Drop These Terms Maybe We'll Understand The Uniqueness Of Bodies

G-d to me is the sky. G-d to me is the ocean. G-d to me is the ground. G-d to me is intersexuality. G-d to me is transgenderism. G-d to me is lesbianism and queerness and pride and joy of the self and man and woman and both and neither and myself and you and us and we.

G-d to me is faith and trust and love and feeding my loved ones to make sure they’re full and happy and cared for.

G-d is the feeling of my partners skin on mine and the feeling of warmth in bed and the feeling of good soup in my stomach and the feeling of my mother laughing and the feeling of my fathers approval.

G-d to me is nature and the machine and the flesh and the divine and the air and space and the unknown and the knowledge that one way or another things will be okay because we all have a soul that means something.

G-d to me is making latkes with my sister for my first hanukkah, even though she isn’t jewish she does what she can to support me and my love and my self.

G-d to me is good books and good music and art that makes me cry and language that makes me laugh and fibre of my clothing and thread of my arts and the beads of my jewelry and the light of my candles and the warmth of my blankets.

G-d to me is the hebrew that i want to learn and the english that is all i know and the french of my great grandmother and the indigenous language of my ancestors and the portuguese of my friend and the ukrainian of my classmate and whispers of my lover.

G-d is me and you and us and we and together and apart and i love him, her, them, it, us, we.

dont forget!!

If you’re Jewish, 18 or older, and live in the United States, vote tonight or tomorrow in the World Zionist Congress.

After tomorrow, there won’t be another election for 5 years, so do the voting now.

I love being Jewish. I love the way a bracha rolls off my tongue, half whisper, half inheritance, and suddenly I'm not alone.

I'm stitched to something older than exile, older than fear.

There are generations behind me, candlelit and stubborn, who prayed with the same words, who wept and danced and buried their dead with the same rhythms.

Through halacha, through ritual, through the ache of tradition, I belong.
