Your two favorite books:
That's such a hard decision because I'm an avid reader. I'd say The curious incident of the dog in the night-time by: Mark Haddon as I've always had a particular interest in children with autism. My second would be The Giver By: Lois Lowry. It's a children's book but it fostered my love for dystopia novels and sparked my interest to continue to read dystopia novels through middle school, high school, college, and now.
Your two favorite songs:
Your two favorite songs:
Anything by Phil Collins or Genesis (when he was the lead singer). I got to see him perform when I was 20 and cried when he came on stage. :) My two favorite songs by him would be "In the air tonight" and "That's All."
Why you are interested in spirituality?
Why you are interested in spirituality?
Because I've always felt there was something bigger than me and the life I'm living. I would hate to think that there was no point to being on this earth. So far, there has been a point to everything I've done and learned and deductive reasoning leads me to believe that there must be a point to life even if I don't know what it is yet.
Your favorite quote: "To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance" -Oscar Wilde
Your hero? Walt Disney. He has always been one of my biggest inspirations. He never had a problem with change, especially if it was going to make things better. He also loved to create and recreate to make things better. I wish that more people were like him.
A spiritual lesson you hope to learn? I would say it's more that I'm in the process of learning. I'm learning that Jesus isn't bad. He was used as a weapon towards me and my immediate family from a very young age and that was engrained as a very negative experience. I'm lucky I have such an amazing fiance who was willing to work with me on this because we are both spiritually different (I'm Jewish, she's Christian) and on different paths. But even if we were both Jewish, we would still be on different spiritual paths. I'm learning that too!

A place in the world where you feel spiritually "connected?" When I'm helping others. Whether it be protesting for equal rights, inspiring through my videos, helping at a soup kitchen, or giving someone directions when they're lost, I feel connected when I am put positive energy into the universe. I like coming home thinking to myself "G-d would be proud of me today."
