| Doing a research project, have a Yiddish question |

My apologies if the subject is too sensitive for anyone.
Definitely not my intent to offend.
I'm doing a research project on the much hated signs over the gates at some of the camps in Germany and I'm having a disagreement with someone on another project of that time period.
The prisoners mocked the sign over the iron gate with "Arbeit Macht Frei durch den Schornstein".
The disagreement is over whether the saying would be different if it were said or written by a Yiddish speaker. I said no and the other person says yes.
Again, my sincerest apologies if the subject is a sensitive one for readers.
And in the spirit of full transparency, I'm not Jewish. My father was but my mother wasn't.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi!
I recently came across a beautiful prayer, but cannot find a Hebrew version or origin of this prayer. Can anyone please point me to any information about the origin of this prayer and a Hebrew or Aramaic (original?) version?
Here is the prayer (perhaps not the best translation):
How wonderful, O Lord, are the works of your hands!
The heavens declare Your glory,
the arch of the sky displays Your handiwork
In Your love You have given us the power
to behold the beauty of Your world
robed in all its splendor.
The sun and the stars, the valleys and the hills,
the rivers and the lakes all disclose Your presence.
The roaring breakers of the sea tell of Your awesome might,
the beast of the field and the birds of the air
bespeak Your wondrous will.
In Your goodness You have made us able to hear
the music of the world.
The voices of the loved ones
reveal to us that You are in our midst.
A divine voice sings through all creation.
I especially love the last two lines!
Thank you!

| Unorthodox Series and a question on online resources |

Hi all, new to the forum. I joined because I just watched the Netflix series Unorthodox and it peaked my interest and brought up a lot of questions. I started reading Wikipedia and one thing led to another and thought I’d join to learn what I can and interact and get to know you all. I would love to hear your opinions on the show!
Also, I came across the website theTorah.com and wondering if anyone is familiar with that and has opinions on it as a resource to learn about Judaism? What are some other websites one can turn to for good information regarding religious Judaism?
Thanks!
Stephen

| Atheist Father with Jewish son |

Hi, I’m Beck, I’m 15
I’m looking for some advice and maybe some comfort.
I am jewish but my father is an atheist who is very against religion, he is very bigoted and often rude to any people of faith. I am embarrassed for how he is but I’ve accepted that just because he is like that, that doesn’t mean I am. His words,thoughts, and actions aren’t mine.
Anyways,
I’m at a loss of what to do. I’m scared for how he would react if he knew I wasn’t an atheist. My city has a synagogue but it’s closed at the moment because of covid-19. I just want some comfort. I am tired of having to keep my religion from him and having to put up with all the hateful words he says both at home and in public. It’s embarrassing.
I have no one to talk to about this, it’s something I’ve had to figure out completely on my own and I don’t know if I am doing something wrong etc.
