That's nice.
Btw, with the Jewish community thing... have there ever been times when you just felt stifled? Like, that you DIDN'T want a community supporting/watching you all the time, that you would have just liked to start over/be free, etc? Or have you always just wanted to be there, and never felt resentment/restlessness?
I'm curious because when I was an evangelical, I really loved being part of a Christian university community for 4 years... but I discovered that when I moved away, it was one of the most freeing/important decisions of my life. The support was gone, but so was the expectation for conformity... I was able to really get to know myself better, apart from that community-identity. I don't know if I would have experienced that, if I had moved into another evangelical community right afterwards (as many Christians do--seeking a new "church home" whenever they relocate).
But I also understand that many people prefer to always be part of a community, wherever they go (hence my membership on TFP!).
