My journal about my conversion to Judaism. |
| I started writing my conversion story in June 2023, even though it started before then. It will not be in chronological order as I remember things from the past that brought me to this point in my life. My decision to convert was not an easy one. I grew up pentecostal. I watched my grandma speak in tongues. My aunt played keyboard in the church band. I used to attend church (a member of a Baptist church for many years) 3 to 4 times a week. I did not start my journey of healing after my divorce and expect to end up here. However, my desire and work to grow closer to G-d has left me no doubt or question about where I am now. I have no hesitation in my conversion to Judaism. This is my story of leaving Christianity and becoming a part of a people that I will be able to, one day, proudly say that I am also. A Jew. |
| I have been feeling quite worn out, but still feeling like I could be doing more and spend more time studying, learning, and feeling like I'm not making any progress. Feeling stuck is hard. I decided to make sure I recorded more of what I do on my calendar this past month. After just what I recorded, I feel a bit better. There is no way I can do more than what I am currently doing. Sometimes a step back and gaining perspective really helps. Key to the picture: Green - Green is dedicated to all videos I watch through the Ark online, Zoom classes with any Rabbi (including the ones at my shul) Purple - Purple is all of my Hebrew classes with GZ Blue - Torah readings of the week and Jewish holidays Red - Candle lighting times and Havdalah times (beginning and ending of Shabbat) Black - days of the week for both secular and Jewish calendars as well as the month(s) in the secular and Jewish calendars. What this does not include: Work schedule (till 4 or 5 every day) Lesson planning Working on my other businesses Driving to shul and back Time with friends and family Videos watched on YouTube Articles and books read Time studying In the photo: The fabric bracelet is a bracelet from the Nova Festival where hundreds of people were murdered The quote is just a really good quote.  |
