one more thing, Gitty. You can roll your eyes if you want or just ignore this. I am curious to know if you are a believer of man to man kindness. Do you feel that midos is what is important in life or doing things to make another happy? I am not here to force you to be frum… thats not my buisness. However I do think that as a hakaras hatov to your parents, just to make them have some sort of nachas, would you be willing to choose one mitzvah, whether it’s not to speak Lashon Hara or whether it is to smile at someone and make them happy or to kiss a mezuzah, no milk and meat together, taharas hamishpacha… your choice of ONE mitzvah that you will hold onto as long as you are able, not for yourself and not for G-d but just to do a justice to your parents who do belive in Hashem, for them to be happy knowing that you chose one thing to keep. Whether you take my advice or not, is irrelevent. It’s just a heartfelt request to repay a kindness to your parents who care about you. Think about it and its ok if you choose not to.
