#noahidism

There has been such an unbelieveable amount of antisemitism on Tumblr, so, I'll just say this.

“Dearer to God is the proselyte who has come of his [her] own accord than all the crowds of the Israelites who stood at Mt. Sinai. The Israelites witnessed the thunder, lightning, quaking mountains, and the sound of trumpets. But the proselyte, who saw not one of these things, came and surrendered himself [herself] to God and took upon himself [herself] the yoke of Heaven. Can anyone be dearer to God?”

After studying Judaism academically this past year, I’m desperately trying to find ways to continue my studies on my own but I’m absolutely paralyzed with fear that I’m going to do something shitty and appropriative because I’m not Jewish.

I don't know if i have what it takes to properly convert and actively participate in organized Judaism, but my personal beliefs strongly align with the fundamentals of Judaism. would it be disrespectful to call myself "Jewish-aligned"?
