I Stand with Israel. Am Israel Chai.
Why is that so hard to say? Why can’t we stand together now, more than ever?
Today at 2pm Pacific time is my Beit Din, the Jewish jury of 3 rabbis, the final step of my conversion before mikvah immersion. I never thought it would be so late and yet it’s not late at all, really. It’s been 15 months in all, and some people study for years before converting. A little covid delay has actually allowed me to breathe, learn, and serve.
Wish me luck and see you soon for more updates! I haven’t been able to post here as much as I would like; I have lots of drafts waiting to be finished on a variety of things. Here’s a post from August 19 from my Instagram—give me a follow!—with another view into my journey. (Also, my hamsa).
