What's Missing?

Throughout my experience in this class of Exploring Today's Jewish Identity, I have been quite fascinated with how much we have delved into each subject of class, and with each topic I've found a need to explore more everyay. I feel like we've explored so much of the contemporary Jewish Identity, but at the same time, there is still so much left to do. With any major topic as broad as say, Halakah, or the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, or even the Holocaust-let alone the theme of Jewish Identity-I feel like I've only scratched the surface of everything Jewishly. However, I probably know a lot more than I think with my experiences in the Jewish world, coming from a strong background and representation of the Jewish world from Camp Ramah, USY, Nativ, and here at Hillel. I have experienced a lot in my Jewish life, and I know that I'll always yearn for more; to do more and to know more in my Jewish life as well. I'm not quite sure what I want to do in my life after school, but I know for a fact that I want to incorporate Judaism into my life personally, if not professionally as well. I know also for a fact that I'll forever hold on to my Jewish aspect of my personal life from my past experiences and knowleges. Those alone have helped shape me into who I am and what I do today, and I'll never stray away from it, no matter what I do in life.
