I wouldn't consider myself a very religious person, but I am tied to my religion socially. Growing up I went to a Jewish preschool, hebrew school, sunday school and more. After my Bat Mitzvah I thought I was going to be done with temple and was pumped. After that I realized that there was a deeper meaning then just scribbles that looked like doodles on paper. I had a community that was completley different than my school community and sports community. We all had one thing in common and that was being Jewish. I feel a sense of comfort knowing that there is a place like my temple where I can always have someone who is there if I ever need help. I feel differently approaching my peers there then I do in some other places. Being involved in a religious community is not for everyone, but I know that it has helped me grow more of an understanding for other religions, ad how to approach certain things that I have been faced with. Unlike a lot of people who go to temple and pray, I don't believe in G-D, therefore I don't believe that there is someone or something that can solve problems and issues. But religious venues are there to give guidance to those who seek it.
