I took a very important step today and met with a Rabbi to formalise my connection to Judaism. My father was Jewish and my mother was Gentile. I was brought up with a strong Jewish and Zionist identity by my father's family who were all refugees after WW2 but with no religion or Jewish learning. 1/4🧵 With the events of this last year and with the world as it stands today, I’ve never felt more connected to my history and I also have my Jewish ‘family’ on X to thank for this. @IsraMum, on 4th July, you posted a statement from Ariela, the mother of Roy Miller, who fell in battle in the northern Gaza Strip. 2/4🧵
