Amazing divine providence, however, it was your courage to pick up the messages and readiness to be honest to yourself. Hashem will not let His children go lost despite the bst catholic education. I wonder if you have no jewish roots from your fathrs side.
Thanks so much for sharing your story, it was eye opening and inspiring. Reply

Rabbi I love your story of your journey and your faith and perseverance to become a practicing Jew. I was so engrossed but your video cuts off about 2 minutes early and I wanted to hear it to the end. It was when you told your mother you wanted to go back to yeshiva Reply

Hello this is an amazing and fascinating story. I identify very much because I also went to a Catholic school for awhile. I later converted to Judaism but much later after that, discovered that I might have been Jewish in the first place. I also came into Judaism through Chabad. This brought back a lot of memories. Thank you. Just one thing- the video got cut off before the story was finished. Is there any way to fix this? I want to hear the end of the story! Reply
