@usincommon: Actress and Neuroscientist, Dr. Mayim Bialik has openly claimed that she is a Baal Teshuva. But what does that mean exactly? "We had two sets of dishes, but I didn't know why. I thought it was just like breakfast dishes and dinner dishes. But sometimes we would have tuna fish for dinner, and she'd serve it on the breakfast dishes. And I didn't understand. Now I do... My grandparents immigrated from Eastern Europe during the series of pogroms leading up to the Holocaust. So the Holocaust was right here. That's how I describe it. It was, like, right here." -Actress, Dr. @mayimbialik on @beingjewish #judaism #baalteshuva #mayimbialik #bigbangtheory #culture
