Similar to Gmelch, I have found that within my family the ritual of cooking soul food every Sunday has become a means of keeping my family together.
Recount a concrete experience in your life where a "looking at" perspective proved truer/more valuable than a "looking along" perspective.

The issue is that my family and I are Ashkenazim, which implies that we take after distinctive Jewish traditions.
