Chumash traditional narratives include myths, legends, tales, and oral histories preserved by the Chumash people of southern California s Transverse Range, Santa Barbara Ventura coast, and Channel Islands. Early analysts expected Chumash oral literature to conform to the regional pattern of southern California narratives. However, little evidence was available before accounts from the papers of John Peabody Harrington began to be published in the 1970s. The narratives now seem to have stronger ties with central California than with the Uto Aztecan languages Takic and Yuman Cochim Yuman groups to the south.

Its relation to Judaism is through the history, culture, civilization, ethical values and shared experiences of the Jewish people. Cultural Jews connect to their heritage not through religious beliefs but rather through the languages, literature, art, dance, music, food, and celebrations of the Jewish people. It is a pillar in the ideologies of Habonim Dror .

If you agree with what the source s are saying and therefore find meaning in the practise, then kashrut has just become not only a meaningful Jewish practise in your life, but has also caused you to look deeper into Judaism and probably helped strengthen your Jewish identity. If the source doesn t appeal to you, can you find an alternative Jewish source to help you out with another way to practise some form of kashrut? Is there a non Jewish source that could help you out with your dilemma? If the whole practise is devoid of meaning, or you are against the practise for any reason then don t do it any more. But at least you will have enriched your Jewish knowledge and hopefully your Jewish identity.The implications of the choice are these If your family decided to change their Shabbat activity from a Friday night.
