This source presents information about the religion though poems, prose, and a brute honesty about the way things truly are in today’s society. The author of this blog takes a real look at the way religion works, but it also has a slightly funny outlook on life and the way that life just kind of happens. I think the fact that this woman starts out by telling us that she is not a real rabbi, and is still learning about her profession, but she still believes and one day will be able to truly call herself a rabbi brings a sense of truth and comfort to a reader because at this point she is still a student like us. She tries to use humor in a way that will make people want to read her blog and still learn about the current state of the world in terms of religion and the rabbi way.

This blog loooks very interesting from looking through it from an outside perspective. The way we view religion is very important, and other people opinions on religion tend to form what we think about religion. The ability to be able to relate to someone on a student level makes it ever easier, to see were that person is comming from.
ReplyDeleteStudying to become a Rabbi is a really long process, and I'm glad to see that she can keep her humour throughout it, which shows the current state of the world and keeps me entertained
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting how relating to your reader and using humor can go so far in making your arguments believable. This blog shows how necessary it is to connect to your audience.
ReplyDeleteIt is very interesting how open the writer makes the world so open witch is often seen so closed and stand offish. She makes a true effort to connect with people even though they may not be able to understand her way of life.
