What really defines you? Is it how others look at you,or how you look at yourself? Whats more important? On Sunday October 20, Diller cohort 5 spent a lot of time discussing these brain teasers.
How others see you isn't always to visible to your eyes,and how you see yourself isn't always visible to them. So we questioned again,what defines you? We decided that you are defined by however you choose to be defined,and how people see you isn't always what lies underneath. That lead to our next topic....movements of Judaism. We learned that what you practice isn't always what you believe. Which goes back to our first discussion, how other look at you and how you look at yourself. An outside party may see one as a reformed Jew but ones belief system is based on the orthodox. Cohort 5 is working on defining ourselves and individuals and Jews. It's not going to be an easy journey, but we have 15 months to figure it out. In Diller, no one is left out to be undetermined.
