I am not a religious person myself and i wss wondering how to approach writing jewish bucky. do you have any pointers for representing that part of him authentically?
my biggest pieces of advice:
don't treat being an observant/religious jew as oppressive, this is what nearly every single non-jewish writer does and it automatically signals to jewish readers this story isn't for us just like the majority of jewish "representation", come at this from a love/respect for judaism or don't write it
ask jewish bloggers who are open to questions for more specific advice
understand that there is no universal experience, every individual jew has a unique relationship with judaism
denomination of judaism does not dictate level of observance, there are heavily observant reform jews and secular orthodox jews
to give you a jumping off point so you have an idea of what to ask, ere are some articles and posts detailing do's and don'ts
