[QUOTE="Debbie, post: 2409389, member: 214093"] I'm speaking from the perspective of someone who became Orthodox after having been raised in a secular Jewish home. At first I did miss the foods I'd given up but then I got used to it and the kosher market is so varied now that I don't even think about it. I suppose to give an analogy just imagine that you love a certain food and one day that food is discontinued and you can't get anything else like it,you would most likely in time learn to do without it and you would probably find something to take its place. The texts by which we live our lives are not confusing but it takes time and effort to learn them but I think it's well worth the effort. Also remember that there is flexibility within the rules,we are not told that there is only one way to do something, three people may be observant Jews and all do things slightly differently and yet all still be perfectly correct.
