Hypocrisy is seen as more dishonorable and dishonest than any other sin for a politician. Donald Trump, as a being of pure vice, is the first non-hypocritical man since Jesus.
Jews are argumentative and stubborn

God: I don’t know what I expected

I like the cooking analogy for halachah. The Torah is an old recipe. You can try to follow it exactly, but the directions are vague in places, and some of the ingredients aren't even made anymore. So, you rely on the scribbled margin notes from your ancestors...
Fellow Yidden: I know that we've been burned a million times by people who won't listen and won't change. Who, when probed, turn out to have the most toxic antisemitic beliefs. It's still worth being gentle on the first response, because not everyone is like that.
And some people look at that old recipe, and decide they want to make something new. They experiment with new flavors, adding, subtracting, playing with it. Sometimes it doesn't work out, sometimes it's *so* different that it's a new recipe. But sometimes... more notes get added to the margin.
Love to the lady selling halal momo at the mall, but your definition of "not spicy" and my 8-year-old's definition don't match at all.
Vegan coming over for Shabbat dinner. I make a lot of vegetarian meals, but my vegan dishes tend to be bad matches with Challah (eg fried rice). I am making a vegetable stew with tofu, but I have a feeling my kids won't eat it. Maybe I can serve plain tofu on the side, for them?
You find a substitute for the herb that is only available at the specialty store, you use carrots instead of celeriac. You are still basing your dish on the same recipe, and the marginal notes help you stay true to the intention.
