How to be Jewish in 30 Seconds by Rabbi Kenneth Block

I’m here to tell you - You can be Jewish in 30 seconds or less.  Hear me out. Many of my colleagues, both Jewish and Gentile, present their religions as all or nothing, insurmountable mountains of material. So, naturally, nearly everyone is going to shy away from it. Religion is like sailing. If you learn some of the basics, you can sail a boat. You’re not going to be in the America’s Cup or sail around the world, but you can love it anyway.  I think a disservice has been done to Judaism by presenting it as all or nothing –telling Jews what they can and cannot do and that you have to give up this and that. The only thing that that results in is people walking away. But it doesn’t have to be that way. You can practice Judaism in just 30 seconds a week by picking a Jewish activity and, well, practicing it.
