Stop Measuring Yourself Against Imaginary Jews

If you’re questioning whether you belong in a space like Bayit Builders, there’s a good chance you’re measuring yourself against an imagined “type” of Jew and coming up short. Many people do this, often without realizing it.

Judaism doesn’t work that way. What matters isn’t matching someone else’s pace, lifestyle, or expression. What matters is direction – whether you’re moving forward with consistency, curiosity, and intention in your Jewish life.

In this video, I talk about why belonging isn’t about fitting a mold, and how building something real happens step by step, in ways that are actually sustainable in real life.

If you’re looking for a place to build without comparison or pressure, Bayit Builders offers structure, guidance, and community for people building a Jewish life in real time. You can learn more or join here.

If you’re wondering whether you belong in Bayit Builders, it might be because you’re picturing a certain  type of Jew and measuring yourself against it.

Judaism doesn’t work that way.

What matters isn’t whether you match someone else’s life or pace. What matters is direction.

Are you moving forward in your Jewish life with consistency and curiosity?

Bayit Builders isn’t about fitting a mold. Heaven knows I do not fit a mold.

It’s about building something real, step by step, in a way you can actually sustain in your real life, whoever you are.

Doors are only open to new members this week.

If you’ve been waiting for permission to stop doing this alone, this is it.

But you’ve gotta act now.
