About the Jewess
I began this blog in April/May 2006 shortly after converting to Judaism under Reform auspices in Lincoln, Neb., as a way to discuss my journey. After all, the Jewish journey doesn't end with conversion, it's where it starts! This blog winds its way through a variety of cities -- Lincoln, Washington D.C., Chicago, Storrs (CT), Teaneck (NJ), and Denver -- as well as a variety of jobs. I trekked through Reform Judaism to Conservative to Orthodoxy while living in Chicago and converted Orthodox on January 1, 2010. I've been married and divorced since my Orthodox conversion and would proudly say I'm denominationally "Underconstructionist."
The purpose of this blog is to share my story, my struggles, my ups and my downs, and to connect with others about anything and everything Jewish and social media. Write me, talk to me, comment, and be well!

Did you enter journalism and exit it quickly? Why? I spent 19 years in the field and was disillusioned with the sensationalism and the dumbing down of the news in general.
Hey there :) I think it might have been more the locale (Washington DC as a copy editor makes it impossible to meet anyone since you work nights and it's a 9-5 city), but I just wasn't feeling as passionate about it. I didn't like that it was so stop and start (I prefer the all-consuming, and when you copy edit, every day is something new, you get invested in something, then it prints, and it's done). But when I worked in Denver several summers ago on a Dow Jones, I loved it. The attitude of the newsroom was different.
This was strangely fun--thanks for spreading it! Check ours out at www.stereosinai.com
