A ton of aesthetics, navigation, and content has been added/changed over the past several days and a lot more content is on the way still. This site has been revamped, retooled, and rekindled as it continues to grow and be worked on to celebrate its first anniversary. This has been a big part of my…

Major update coming!!!
A major update is coming in April to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the existence of this website, and so many updates are coming along with it! Everything from visual changes, to content (more and better streamlining), to everything in-between. I cannot wait to drop the changes here and get everyone’s reactions to what…
Art and getting busy
I haven’t written a blog post in six days, but I have updated the content here and will continue to add content throughout even my most busy of times. I added articles in both sections of this site and small tidbits elsewhere between these blog posts, so check around and find it all. …now…
Chag Purim Sameach
Tonight is Purim Erev and that means the festivities begin! Costumes… check! Hamantaschen… check! Alcohol… check! Megillah… Check! We are ready and so excited to have a memorable Purim celebration (big ups to Esther, you’re the MVP)! Our kids are excited, we’re excited, and we’ve already attended to Purim Carnival at our synagogue and…
Homestretch
There are only six more classes left in the intro to Judaism course and we just had our monthly meeting with our Rabbi (one of our favorite people on Earth) and we’re in the proverbial homestretch of the conversion process. Purim is also just around the corner… annnnnnnd all of my kids are sick…

A lot has been happening as of late, a lot of good things bear in mind, just a lot. I have gotten new glasses and can see better than ever (though I’m still gradually losing my vision), and my new hearing aids are working very well and helping me to hear. I am beginning…
My B’nai Mitzvah
You’ve read correctly, our Synagogue (Congregation Rodeph Shalom) has a B’nai Mitzvah program for adults and it begins March 2nd and runs through a year, culminating in our leading a Saturday Shabbat service. We asked our sponsoring Rabbi and he said we should definitely go through it as a part of our Jewish life…
The Ukraine situation
I wish there was more I could do to help the people of Ukraine, as Russia tears through their sovereign nation waging a Nazi-like campaign to reestablish a modern-day adaptation of the soviet union. If you’ve looked online it’s apparent that the Russian citizenry does NOT support this operation either meaning that dictator Putin…
Struggle building faith
Many people who face hardships and struggles in life begin to question or even lose faith in their deities, but for me, this is not the case. When I first found myself a home in Judaism, I had a debilitating spinal issue, fairly bad hearing loss, and was/am legally blind, with 15% vision in…
Bad news…
Yesterday I’d gone to an optometrist to get checked up and get new glasses, I opted for a special laser scan of my eyes and a thorough check-up was underway. Afterward, I was sitting in the optometrist’s office and she’d first went on to tell me that my left eye (which I’m blind in)…
