Conversion update:
One of my conversion requirements was to lead a Passover Seder. I was prepared for this experience to teach me more about the tradition, but what I wasn’t prepared for was the deep sense of belonging I would get from it!
I have been thinking of myself as one with the Jewish people for many months now, but I never outwardly express that out of respect, plus I’m not officially Jewish yet. Leading the Seder allowed me to speak of myself AS a Jew around my Jewish family, and it felt both freeing and so perfect.
At the Seder, I was SEEN as a Jewish individual by other Jews, and I wasn’t scared of talking about US as the Jewish people.
Both my Rabbi and I are super hyped by this, and my Rabbi said he’s part of my (nonexistent) fan club.
