My Selichot speech

On Saturday, September 17th, Selichot, I will be speaking at our synagogue Congregation Rodeph Shalom on Teshuva at 8:00 pm before services begin. It will be an emotional time because of my past, but a beautiful one because of my present. I am not nervous because I love our congregation every last person in it…

eBook update, this website etc…

I’ve been exceedingly busy working on three written projects: my memoirs, a new horror novel, and The Journey to Sinai (the free eBook I’m writing for this website), alongside my art, music, and poetry, coupled with my Judaic studies, and prayer. Life has been on the go… top that off with my dentist finding 3…

A new booklet?

Shabbat Shalom all, I have written a rather long article here in the journey to Judaism section, and it has led to the decision to write a booklet on what I’ve learned, my views, my Jewish values, my family’s Jewish practices, and more. I honestly don’t know who it would appeal to in regards to…

We’ve completed our conversion!

I just wrote on completing our conversion as of yesterday, you can read more about it HERE. This is the first day of the rest of our lives as a fully Jewish family and the emotion is genuinely palpable in our home. It was truly a magical day for us and one that we will…

Excitement building and new Tallit in the works!

We are nine short days away from the final portion of the conversion process and we’re so excited. It has been an amazing journey of learning and growing, getting to know about the culture and peoplehood of the Jews, getting to learn about Torah, and growing close to Hashem. Throughout this year and a half…

Getting life in order

Lately, I’ve been exceedingly busy adding things to life that I’d neglected for a while. Working out, writing, Judaism and studies, my creative avenues (art, music, poetry), and the martial arts (which I’m in the process of forming something new for martial artists). Don’t think for a second I’d forgotten about this website, this is…

Updates? Oh yeah, we have updates!

There have been several updates here, most within the articles sections of the site, but a lot more is in the works. So I can safely say, if you’re looking for something new here, check there first. I have some big plans coming up for new content, including new articles, new poems to type in,…

Final conversion dates

It’s finalized after a year and a half of study, practice, diligence, and emuna, the date is officially set for the beit din and mikveh for my family’s conversion. During this time I’ve read dozen upon dozens of books, took two classes to completion, and only missed two Shabbats throughout the duration. My family is…

So much is going on

Shabbat Shalom! So much is going on currently that is slowing down my eBook on converting to Judaism, including many good but work-intensive things. My memoirs, painting, getting interviewed for my art, getting a new car, B’nai Mitzvah classes, etcetera… but I am proud to say that construction on the new look and layout here…

Updates coming!

Shabbat Shalom! Construction on the newly updated website here is almost done now, and content is steadily rolling in on a continual basis. I hope everyone has been enjoying the updates so far, tomorrow is my last day to add new sections or change things up a bit, but I’m happy with it as it…
