an american asian jewish girl heads to an orthodox french synagogue for passover: a grand cultural experience
on monday night, i was off to l’association culturelle israelite, a synagogue here in rennes with rachel shapiro.
it was really hidden so we had a little trouble getting there in the first place. we had to take a bus and then walk a bit. the synagogue was orthodox, so it was a real cultural experience for me not just because of the fact that it was in france, but also because of the orthodox nature of the services. for those who are not orthodox, it can sometimes feel like a totally different religion. it was super cool…
Spending important holidays in another country is a good way to learn about cultural differences, whether it’s American holidays like Thanksgiving or more universal holidays like Passover.

Practicing My Judaism in a Catholic Country →
…It was a very rewarding experience, not only because I got to celebrate, but also because I got to share my life with my friends in such an interactive way. I guess the coolest part about being Jewish in a Catholic country is that not only do I get to learn so much about Catholicism, but I also get to learn about my own religion and beliefs because I get the opportunity to teach people about them….
