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!

Excitement building and new Tallit in the works!

Throughout this year and a half…
Happy 4th of July
I’m just taking a moment here to wish everyone celebrating, a happy and safe 4th of July. On this independence day, I reflect on the nature of freedom and what it has taken for Jews and gentiles alike to have the freedom we have today. I’m contemplating the very nature of freedom, what it is…

Excitement is building
Our family’s excitement continues to grow over the July 26th date for our final piece to the conversion puzzle, the Beit Din and Mikveh. My family has also been working towards being more frum and my wife has taken up an obsession with beautiful head coverings (Like I have with my Kippah collection). I have…

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,…
The Jewish Exponent article
The article about me by the Jewish Exponent has been released, click here to read it now. I think it turned out good, and will hopefully expose one of the principal reasons many in leadership roles have taken to that ideology in the first place. I’ve talked about identity here numerous times in my writings…
