Starting January
Starting January 18th the intro to Judaism course begins at our synagogue, once a week from 6:00-8:00 pm for four months, and my wife and I are super excited. This is a big step in our conversion process, one of the last few in fact, and we will be officially Jews (Though I’m Ashkenazi…

My whole family has been studying the history and meaning behind every bit of the holiday and my four kids are bursting to light the hanukiah. We’re even translating our old tradition of making sugar cookies and instead…
