Gerim are way too sensitive. Always scanning for slights like they’re reading the Talmud with a Geiger counter. "I wasn’t invited to the shiva!" "No one asked me to chip in for the kugel fund!" "Why wasn’t I on the WhatsApp for the bris?!”

Bro, relax. Victory over sin doesn’t come from inclusion—it comes from service. When you’re schlepping meals to old Jews and plunging the shul toilet after a men's mikvah session, you’re not obsessing over why the rabbi won’t let you marry his daughter. You’re too busy doing God’s work to care.

You say, "No one at shul cares about me." Okay. But do you care about anyone?

You don’t need invites when you’re the one doing the inviting. “Come join our ragtag band of sincere weirdos trying to keep Shabbos like pros!”

People worry about their status: “How many likes did my dvar Torah get? Did Rebbetzin Glantz smile at me? Should I call myself a rabbi yet?” Me? I’m God’s forgotten man. I’m out here ministering to the lost tribes of the San Fernando Valley—Producers, Pilates Instructors, and Jewish stars of independent cinema.
