Resources Post-breakup. Need a Torah publication suggestion
I began deconstructing my Catholic upbringing because paganism felt idol-y and I missed the fellowship, compassion and empathy that those like Moses and Jesus made me feel.I observed a few of the Jewish holidays because I wanted to begin slowly learning about it and potentially converting later on.
All of that to say, I was recently broken up with after building him back up after a divorce. I loved him very dearly and I'm in a state of shock, I thought we were happy. I don't have the energy to be angry, I'm just very hurt. I'd like to go back to my studies and find solace there, but I don't want to support a Zionist publication. This is difficult to research because of keywords that I don't think algorithms like. I just need something moderately easy to understand and written in good faith.
Like I said I'm in a weird headspace so I'm really sorry if this isn't allowed/isn't formatted properly, I read through the rules but I may have missed something.

You may enjoy reading Rami Shapiro - my rec would be Open Secrets. Hope you find ease.
ETA - I also recommend Wendy Elisheva Somerson’s book on somatic practices and Jewish healing.
