My Conversion Story Journal

June 17, 2025

On the 8th of the month, I met with the Beit Din. They approved my conversion. I am now waiting for my mikvah date. I admit that it has taken a bit to sink in, and probably won't fully until after the mikvah. I am longing to be in that mikvah and become a Jew fully. Soon. Very soon.

I am traveling on a plane tomorrow to another state. It is my first time traveling out of state while being kosher. I already contacted the Chabad where I will be traveling to and booked a hotel near it so I can walk to services on Shabbat. I was told where to find kosher food and what kosher foods were not available there. I am packing some food and bringing it with me. I bought a couple things to cook with so I can eat dairy and meat. I'm nervous about this new experience, but also looking forward to seeing how other Jews find their food and have services.

I'll be back in a week. B"H
