All my life I haven't really known what I was; I always knew I was Jewish, but what type of Jew was I? Ashkenazi or sfardi? that one I answered; I am an ashkenazi and sphardi, I observe both minhagim somehow.
But what type of Jew am I? At the young age of five years old, I came to the realization that my family wasn't like all the other frum families the Morahs spoke about. When I was at some other young age I had a friend, this friend was a real frummie. One day he asked me am I frum, I did not know what frum meant, (I thought it meant that you are a mean/bad person) so I told him no, then I asked what it meant. Shortly after I started seeing less and less of him, till the point that I never did. I knew I was not like his family, and I learnt I am frum, but what type? After many years I decided to take the test and here are my results (I barely passed, nothing over 66%).
Left Wing Modern Orthodox:27% Right Wing Modern Orthodox:63%
Left Wing Yeshivish/Chareidi:66% Right Wing Yeshivish/Chareidi:41%
The Orthodoxy Test says that I'm Huh?
What does it mean? I give up. What are you?
And the search continues, but I will always be Jewish
