A lot of Jewish culture.
is actually super autistically coded, uh which maybe we'll get into later.
But
It's a unique experience and it also I think there's a lot of universal things that one who even isn't Jewish can learn from the autistic Jewish experience.
Uh sure, though I would I would like to really point out 'cause this is a really important thing, uh, about Jewish culture.
Judaism doesn't proselytize.
So that actually is never going to be a problem.
Uh it's actually against Judaism to proselytize.
And actually it's a state I have to I say that because it's actually something often that I I bring up in my work and people will often accuse uh
Me and other Jewish people who talk about that as proselytizing, though that actually that's a Christian concept that then gets kind of
thrown onto onto Jewish people.
And to actually separate the Jewish religion and Jewish culture actually can be quite difficult because Judaism as such isn't a religion in the way that we think of
Buddhism or Christianity or Islam as a religion, but Judaism is what we call kind of this it's it's its own kind of civilization which the culture and the religion kind of mix together.
So we're gonna keep it on the cultural aspects, but it is
It's not possible actually to distinguish them.
Again, this concept of Judaism as religion is also something that's kind of been is an outside imposition onto what Jewish civilization is from
Christian civilization Christian people and Jews living amongst Christian nations say, Oh, that's the religion.
Judaism is the religion of the Jews, so to speak.
Right.
Yeah.
