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. |
| The 19th of Kislev is a holiday only for Chabad. This is the day that the Alter Rebbe was released from prison in Russia. He taught everyday Jews how to be Jews. He is the founder of Chabad and Hasidic Judaism. Today I went to a Farbrengen and dinner to celebrate the today. I learned that it is not only the liberation of the Alter Rebbe, but it is also the Chabad New Year in the sense that those who studies Tanya finished it and will now begin again. It is a fresh start to being a new person. It was a good dinner and enjoyed the company. I admit that I didn't understand everything that was said, but some of the stories were good. The food was good even though I did get picked on for not eating the tomatoes or mushrooms. After not eating the box of cookies that I was given earlier this week, I can say that I enjoyed kosher cookies for desert. It was a good night with a little learning and little bit of good music and a lot of good company. |
