Creating a Reflection of Myself

Daisy Friedman January 13, 2021 Let’s face it. It’s a challenge being a young woman. Society’s perceptions of us mixed with the perceptions we have of ourselves get jumbled up inside to create a warped, often poor, self-image. Especially in this era of media inundation, our self-image is crafted in large part by the representation of people who look like us on screens. It’s a lot to try to reconcile with. Now, imagine if we never saw someone who looked like us at all. How would we derive our self-image? Would we even have one?  Growing up, these questions, among others,  rattled around in my mind constantly. I grew up as a sick kid, substituting playtime for physical therapy, learning to walk properly after months in bed at a time. I had a triple organ transplant at three, cancer at four, and a feeding tube for two years after that. Needless to say, the conventional beauty standards haven’t applied to me since my toddler years.

(January 22, 2021 / JNS) As the coronavirus pandemic continues to keep Jewish services and life-cycle events smaller in size, many Jewish families are grappling with letting go of long-held expectations about the bar or bat mitzvah celebration they imagined for their child. To that end, Moving Traditions has published a new guide to facilitate the transition. From Zoom mitzvahs to car mitzvahs to other alternative formats, the organization’s staff has collected best-practice ideas from parents, clergy and Jewish educators about ways to celebrate the coming-of-age milestone in 2021.
