just wanna ramble about this for a moment but, my late grandmother had some seemingly jewish customs and im having a hard time figuring out why. if she had jewish ancestry, i wanna know (especially if she was practicing crypto-judaism). hopefully one day i get an answer..

#she did something similar to sitting shiva when my great grandmother died #all the chairs were either up on the tables or in the garage #the couches were covered #so were the paintings and mirrors #the only seats were stools in the kitchen #i asked her why the house was like that and she said it was becauser her mom died and itd be back to normal in a week #then asked me if that answered my question. i was just a kid so it sufficed.#but now i wished id asked her more #she also took care to tell my sister and i about how she'd tie red strings to her childrens cribs #to protect them from evil #and she'd leave stones at her baby's grave #now we leave stones at both their graves #if she had jewish ancestry theres probably more that i dont know about #shrug #julian rants #judaism #jewish #i hope its ok for me to use those tags #if anyone has advice on how to find out it'd help
