Question for reform/conservative: I'm not Jewish, but a friend of mine is converting. They have their beit din scheduled and everything should be official within the next 3-4 weeks.
Would it be weird to give my friend a gift to celebrate the milestone? I was thinking about checking out some judaica shops and getting them something small just to be like "congrats on this huge thing you've done" but I don't know if that's weird or if it's a more solemn occasion as I've never had a friend convert before. I could always ask them but I wanted it to be a surprise.

from anon who asked how orthodox folks are getting to temple: thank you everyone! important context: my very rural state has like 3 synagogues total. so my frame of reference here is a little different, walking didn't even seem like an option to me. thank you for the reminder that people actually live in cities 😭

Sorry if this is rude, but do you actually pray 3 times a day, every day? How does that work? I want to start davening on weekdays but it seems so intimidating. In the siddur there's pages and pages of stuff- like the shema and all the things surrounding that, and the amidah is so long on weekdays, and on and on with so much that I'm genuinely not sure how we're expected to be able to do it all? Am I missing something, like is part of it usually skipped or something? I can barely even get 5 minutes to myself to say the morning blessings, and I have no idea how anyone could possibly be left alone for long enough to say the amidah in the middle of the day. How do you do it? How do I start?
FOR: preferably Conservative but also anyone who davens regularly (or has in the past). not sure if it matters but I'm Ashkenazi

hi! for any movement, but especially conservative & modox: are there any resources for aromantic and/or asexual jews who are still interested in (platonic) marriage, raising children, and cultivating a jewish home?

If I was writing a Harry Potter fanfic and wanted to make the main character Jewish, would that be acceptable? Also, how would being a witch intersect with being Jewish? For either reform or conservative.

FOR: Conservative, however responses from any branch are appreciated
I have seen that blessings have been written for things like giving Testosterone Shots, etc. However is there something similar for chronic illness treatments?
I take injections every few weeks for my autoimmune condition and would find it meaningful to say a blessing / thank G-d before doing the injection. I would like to note I know there are blessings for healing, however as my condition is incurable with current medical science and I am more interested in a blessing for medicine that sustains me as opposed to praying for healing
