Beautiful anologies... May you could find the jewels in the ordinary, it might be easier on your hands and your state of mind. Beautiful poem... I had to comment
Im sorry, I just wanted to inform you that I accidentally clicked the "join community" instead of the "friend community" button for "veiled diamonds".
I'm not a Muslim, Im a Jew who practices a varying degree of tzniut (the jewish equivelent of hijab) and I like that community because it is difficult to find fashionable modest clothing for women, and I like all the suggestions all the women post.
I just wanted to make sure you knew what was going on and who on earth I was.
Shalom aleichem! :D Please don't apologize. I think I already added you, in which case you are more than welcome to stay a member and post in the community. I'm familiar with tziniut (my mother's family is Jewish) - I appreciate the value of modesty no matter where it comes from.
Thank you sending me this little explanation... 99% of the time I have to research for myself who I add to the community, so thank you for that courtesy. :)
Well I don't know if she was "officially" Jewish - that is, I don't know whether or not she was ever an active participant in the Jewish community (she passed away in 2004, so I will never know). Her mother, however, was, and came to this country at around 14 years of age from Yugoslavia, to avoid persecution. Later in life she converted to Roman Catholicism... so, it's all rather confusing to me, especially because I will never know the facts. :\
At this point in time I'm not actively involved with Islam, though of course I hold to the basic values that are, of course, essential to Islam and Judaism alike. Around the time of my mother's death I was becoming more involved in the Jewish community, and was considering converting - maybe even becoming a rabbi (if possible, I confess I am not familiar with Halakha).
But, enough of my rambling. It's great to have you as a part of our little community! Perhaps your presence will help bridge the religious gap, and we can all enjoy learning about our lovely similarities and differences.

oh lovely! Thank You!
haha, so are you "technically" Jewish (you said your mothers family, is your mother herself Jewish?).
I've never met a halachik Jew of a different Religion (theres a word for that and I cant remember what it is).
Very cool!
