I saw this man who I love dearly and who is my father, but who is very flawed and who is hiding behind scripture.

which openly states thou shalt not do all of the things you're about to do.

And I was very confused because I was being forced to go to temple every week and walk to synagogue and keep kosher and do all of these things.

And this guy's like not even getting to the second commandment without breaking it.

And I was like, okay.

So it was very hard because it really was very confusing seeing, you know, this disciplined version of Judaism be so undisciplined in his personal life and the way it ravaged my mother emotionally and left this sort of wake –

of chaos and its path was deeply hard and disturbing.

Introduced me to a brother I didn't ask about or know about and then told me not to tell my mother that I met him, which was very complicated.

Yeah.

You know, it's funny.

I find Andrew's answer to actually be a perfect embodiment of how I view my own relationship with religion, which is I really enjoy the traditions.

I enjoy the spirituality and the historical tentacles of that spirituality it ties you to a time a place a people that I think is really interesting I find my way to faith on my own terms and

And I really find that faith has been useful in some of the hardships that I've gone through in my life.

Recently, my mom had a medical emergency that came out of left field.

And I will be very honest.

I found faith in a place that I haven't been looking in a long time to find it.

And I found it to be...

At the very least, a useful escape and maybe even more than that.

And, you know, my mom had a very small chance of surviving and did.

I'm glad to hear that.
