Our meeting with the Rabbi want so well! The whole being turned away three times before they talk to you wasn't true for this synagogue. The Rabbi said, "Go away. Go away. Go away. Ok, good you're still here!"
The synagogue includes a lot of things we were looking for: focus on families, child friendly, congregation includes couples around our age, and dedication to charity.
We surprised the Rabbi a bit because normally conversions are done because one person is married to someone who is already Jewish. Apparently one person who grew up Catholic and the other person who grew up Southern Baptist is a combo that doesn't happen that often! Ha!
I'm so glad to hear that it went well!
ReplyDeleteI stumbled upon your blog a few days ago and am very interested in how you guys both decided to convert! Perhaps you could do a post on how that decision came about.
ReplyDeleteThat is *so* neat that you both decided to convert! I can't wait to read about your exciting journey!
