Me, months younger, naive, impulsive: “Ah, a Jewish character in my vampire story could be neat!!! I always have loved religions and myths. I wonder if there’s a unisex word for the ‘mitzvah???”
Me now, 8+ Wiki pages open on my phone about several religious terms I don’t know that I opened whilst trudging valiantly through the page about Reform Judaism, looking at the page about Conservative Judaism, desperately clinging to what little info sticks in my mind as all context rips past my eyes and into the clouds like an exorcized demon from a dark-haired white girlchild: “I gotta visit a temple or something”
