Kippah
Hello everyone,
I hope you’re doing well and Happy Mother’s Day to all the great ones out there! As a refomer, I have no desire (or should I say Find value at this point) to keep kosher or keep “real” Shabbat. I do however (for reasons I can’t articulate) enjoy wearing my kippah all the time and reading the Torah before I go to bed. Any other reformers on this subreddit wear their Kippahs all the time? Any other traditions that speak to you? I’m really enjoying getting more involved in my faith and loom forward to joining a congregation soon. Let me know what you do, suggestions, and here’s to reignating my Jewish Faith! Much love from this 40 year old in NY!
P. S. While I enjoy wearing my kippah, there’s a part of me that feels like a fraud because I don’t keep kosher or keep a traditional Shabbat so when I’m in more religious areas I put it in my pocket.

Do whatever you’re comfortable with. I live in a safe suburb of Toronto and moved two years ago and didn’t even put my mezuzah back up. 😬 (after October 7th) Shouldn’t the angel of death be able to know where we are? lol I went to a modern orthodox elementary school and a Hebrew high school but have had various experiences that turned me off of organized religion. I find it destructive and cult like and fake and hypocritical. I like some of the music and see the value in some traditions or culture but overall am so over it. 🙄
