I knew that there would be a lot of video essays on this show and that a lot of well-meaning gentiles would be misinterpreting Judaism and Jewish culture.

The most consistent one that drives me up a wall is referring to becoming Orthodox as "converting". Every. Single. Video. Y'all. You don't convert to Orthodox Judaism when you're born Jewish. It's not a separate religion. It's choosing to ramp up your degree of observance in a religion that has some pretty wild laws that a lot of us just can't with. I mean good for those that can do it, but it takes a special mindset.

And people around the newly Orthodox person (trying not to spoil) aren't mad because they've "switched religions". They're mad because newly Orthodox people are massive pains in the ass, especially right when they're new to Orthodoxy and all self-conscious about following as many laws as possible and dragging other Jews into it with guilt.
