![]() I needed a complete understanding of all the places I could reach out to my precious grandparents, and find them waiting for and available to me.
I yearn to learn—to be Jewish not in name only, but as one who respects and fully embraces my religion and heritage with love and gratitude.
Going on without the day-to-day ties to someone you love is a necessary part of letting go of the deep, searing grief and turning back to your own life
I am learning that G‑d has the power to save each of us; He literally saved my life.
My new name held a softness to it, yet lent strength to my effort to heal and begin to live life again as a whole, and wholly new, person.
Recently, they experienced an event that has shaken their professed lack of belief.
I had always felt like a fraud in a church, quite torn, but didn’t know how to begin to live life as a Jew. So I slogged along, well into middle age, not knowing where to begin.
My journey to find my Jewish reality is fairly recent and in the beginning was quite tentative. When I began to seek out places to go to services, I had no idea how healing that would be.
My breath caught in my throat. The picture was so clear I felt I had walked into it.
I stepped into that world with preconceived notions of folks who just didn’t try hard enough … and I was so wrong!
