The Journey Begins

My Jewish journey begins, now. I am going to visit Manhattan’s Jewish Community Center, perhaps take some classes there, maybe join  a book club, attend some events, make myself known there and down the line, I may be able to secure a job, there.

This is my way of connecting with both the Lord and the Jewish people. I’m also looking for Jewish wife because secular life and bachelorhood really suck. And lastly, I’d really like to help bring peace to Israel and the Middle East.

Those who are worried that I am no longer a left wing activist, need not worry; I am still a Marxist, just an increasingly Jewish one.

I don’t believe that Marxism and Judaism necessarily contradict each other. Indeed, Marxism, in an odd way, may be an off shoot of Judaism, because Marx was  a Jew himself, folks and he was descended from rabbis ,and his concern for the poor and the working class is not inconsistent with the Torah.

So here I go, into the world of Judaism ,wish me luck...

Shalom!
