There we go... *ahem* attention, attention. Hear ye hear ye.
I am a 20-something year old Torah Observant wife and mother of three. I am a complex being and cannot be put in a box with a label on it. There is too much about me that you will most likely disagree with. That is okay. Just like you, I think I'm right.
My children are all under 5.
I am not hear to convert Jews to anything. That seems to be the common thought amongst them, thanks to Jews-for-Jesus. I believe in a Hebrew Messiah with a Hebrew Name who came for His people. I believe that the Bible, as it is, does NOT contradict itself. I cannot understand why anyone would believe in a Bible that contradicts itself... I don't believe Torah was cancelled out and I don't believe the Messiah believed that, either. I believe that the people in the New Testament were Hebrews and that they were still following a Hebrew God and Hebraic law. Therefore, I am what I am.
We do not celebrate Christmas or Easter. We celebrate the feasts given to G-d's people through Moshe on Sinai. We are kosher. We observe the Sabbath. We read the parashiyot. My husband wears kippot. Being... what we are (what is that? You decide), this is the only life our children know. My husband grew up this way. We believe polygyny is not a sin. There are others like us and we fellowship with them on occasion. Other than that it is just us in our home, by ourselves.
I contemplate homeschooling my children. I no longer work and I will be home with them.
B"H. Shalom & boker tov to you all.

Maybe I overlooked something but I couldn't find a button to send a private message to you so I'll keep this vague. I noticed a comment you left to an article and would like to discuss it with you further. I promise I mean no impropriety by this. I look forward to hearing back from you. Feel free to delete this message after receiving it. Y'simeich Elokim k'Sara, Rivkah, Bilhah, v'Zilpah :)
