Hey everyone. It's been a while. Over a couple of years since I was active. Figured it would be good to re-introduce myself.
In 2017 I began worshiping with a Jewish community and completed a Conservative geirus the following year. I plunged headfirst into Jewish living and practice. I even...
Hey everyone. Long time no post. Hope you're all well.
Long shot, but does anyone here have any experience with Afro-Caribbean traditions (Santeria, Espiritismo, Santerismo, Vodou, etc.) and Catholicism? Or know anyone who is a part of it?
I know the Church doesn't support it, but millions...
Hey everyone. Just an update on me.
About a month ago I finally finished my conversion to Conservative/Masorti Judaism.
It took nearly a year and a half, and there are still a lot of mitzvot and observances which I need to improve on, but I'm finally happy to have made it.
Now that I'm...
Spoke with my rabbi last night after class.
I was told that there isn't a time limit to conversion and it may only take me a few extra months, a year, or even ten years. Everyone is different. As long as I'm on the journey, I'm welcome in the community and would be helped along the way...
I'm two months away from completing my conversion process to Conservative Judaism. I know in my heart and soul that I am meant to be Jewish and I one day hope to be a part of the people of Israel.
But for the past few weeks, I've been debating if I should perhaps wait for a little while before...
There would be a tendency for that to happen when the temple that was the center of the Jewish world was completely destroyed.
Most Jews did not - and still do not - believe in Jesus as the Moshiach. Them "quitting their jobs" had nothing to do with Jesus "replacing" them.
Just keep doing what you do. Unless someone directly tells you that they have a problem with it, I wouldn't worry too much about it.
I'm about half way done with my conversion and I already find myself using Yiddish and Hebrew phrases quite regularly. I think it's just something that comes...
I mean, the Conservative movement has been becoming more open to LGBT people, so anything is possible. ;-)
I don't disagree that this is a unique situation, but I don't think it's as impossible as it was made out to be.
Should one stop their conversion process, simply because there's an aspect of one's personal life that another finds objectionable?
I was on another forum (I won't say which one) and I mentioned that I chose not to go Orthodox due to some things in my personal life. Namely that I'm gay and am...
Romance, Action, and Dystopian. Never really got into them, but I can watch them if there's nothing else to see.
I love Horror, Drama, and Fantasy though.
