I'm definitely a religious and spiritual person, however, as sad as it is, I don't have the time to be a practicing Jew these days. Frankly, after going to Hebrew school six days a week for many years, I decided not to go to temple as much as I got older. But, I love spending time with my Jewish friends in LA. On any High Holiday, I really try and actually take a break from work and spend time with my family... I love my religion. I was never Orthodox or raised that way. In fact, my mother is Catholic, so there's a little difference there. The bloodline is passed down through the mother, but I was bar mitzvahed and raised Jewish. I believe in religion wholeheartedly. Ironic as it is and maybe sad as it is, I don't have time to practice. But, I'm okay with that these days because I know what I believe in, and I don't think that it really offends anybody. It's a different time these days than when my parents, and especially my grandparents, were around.
