So, recently I acquired some new books, let’s get biblical vol I and II by Tovia Singer and the complete illustrated history of the Jewish people. Then, for the introduction to Judaism course, we purchased all of the necessary books as well, which all in all our library of Jewish learning is growing quite…

One year in and just getting started
Today marks the day (One year ago) that I’d first contacted the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia, a day that in fact, changed my life forever. Yesterday we’d met with our sponsoring Rabbi Eli (a really great mensch) and talked about how things are going, really excited that we’d finally gone Kosher and for…
New stuff added and coming
If you haven’t noticed, I’ve added new stuff in each section of this website annnnnnd I’ve added a whole new section here for reviews of media and products I have personally seen/use myself.

Day after Christmas
It’s the day after Christmas and we spent the day at my mothers helping family celebrate their holiday. It was a nice time, full of food and gifts and spending time with loved ones, while it wasn’t our day, it was nice being together. Our kids grew up celebrating Yule for a few years…
A Jew at Christmas

I only say, “Merry Christmas,” on Christmas day because Hannukah for the Jews, Yule to Pagans, Kwanzaa for African-Americans, all fall around the same timeframe. Most of the time I say,…

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…
A lot of new additions
I have added a lot of new additions to this site since my last post, new articles, new media, and new posts here. I add new content just about every day here and this site is just over 7 months old now! In other news, I have completed the first full rough draft of…
Dec 9th concert
December 9th my wife and I went to the most amazing concert I’ve ever been to (and I’ve been to dozens) at an intimate venue called the Kung Fu Necktie. All Jewish performers and I’d estimate 90% or more Jewish fans from nearly all branches of the Judaic tree, 100% respect and love. We…
