Now, before I get into the bad stuff, let me tell you the good stuff… Other than slightly elevated blood pressure, everything else internally is pretty healthy and the problems from my…

My Selichot speech
On Saturday, September 17th, Selichot, I will be speaking at our synagogue Congregation Rodeph Shalom on Teshuva at 8:00 pm before services begin. It will be an emotional time because of my past, but a beautiful one because of my present. I am not nervous because I love our congregation every last person in it…
eBook update, this website etc…
I’ve been exceedingly busy working on three written projects: my memoirs, a new horror novel, and The Journey to Sinai (the free eBook I’m writing for this website), alongside my art, music, and poetry, coupled with my Judaic studies, and prayer. Life has been on the go… top that off with my dentist finding 3…
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!
I just wrote on completing our conversion as of yesterday, you can read more about it HERE. This is the first day of the rest of our lives as a fully Jewish family and the emotion is genuinely palpable in our home. It was truly a magical day for us and one that we will…

Throughout this year and a half…
Getting life in order
Lately, I’ve been exceedingly busy adding things to life that I’d neglected for a while. Working out, writing, Judaism and studies, my creative avenues (art, music, poetry), and the martial arts (which I’m in the process of forming something new for martial artists). Don’t think for a second I’d forgotten about this website, this is…
Updates? Oh yeah, we have updates!
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,…
Change in conversion date and the Jewish Exponent
So, we found out the Mikveh was already booked full on the date our synagogue selected, so our Beit Din and Mikveh will be postponed until the end of July, just in time for my birthday! We’re still just as excited to see a point in which our conversion journey comes to fruition and we…
Final conversion dates
It’s finalized after a year and a half of study, practice, diligence, and emuna, the date is officially set for the beit din and mikveh for my family’s conversion. During this time I’ve read dozen upon dozens of books, took two classes to completion, and only missed two Shabbats throughout the duration. My family is…
