Convert to Judaism

Taking formal classes with the Rabbi at the synagogue. I am living a Jewish life – or taking steps to get there. I’m fumbling with Hebrew (but making some progress), learning the blessings, the songs and just what goes into the making of a Jewish life. I study the text and everyday I am a little closer to my goal.

ohhh my, went to Friday night service and it was all in Hebrew, lay davening; I had no idea where I was in the service at any given time. But … I stayed there and met a bunch of wonderful people. Seems they meet once per month, have an intimate Friday service and meet for Kaddish after … I will stay for the dinner next time.

I finished my course “Introduction to Judaism” several months ago and met with the Rabbi at the Conservative Shul that I had been going to, when suddenly I just stopped; just stopped. 6 months later High Holidays came around and I started again. I went to Yom Kippur services; what a wonderful day it was. I completed the fast, prayed, studied and came out the other side floating. My path is true and I will be meeting with the Rabbi again to start the private instruction along with Hebrew lessons.
