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!

Isn't that the woman who wrote the Persian cookbook?
Why yes, it is!
This is just sad because it is so true. And also why so many converts stay in the closet when they can.
Did you know that Reyna who created this video is the author of an AMAZING cookbook called "Persian Food from the non-Persian Bride"? It's one of my favorites and a must for any kosher foodie. I was fortunate enough to hear her tell her story of South American secret Jewish past and conversion.
Damn! Would you PLEASE stop the automatic connetion to the audio of your speech? Once is enough.
So you joined the Orthodox gang. Farewell to Big Bang cosmology and Darwinian biology, all your needs for thinking have been removed and rationality is out the window. Of course, the modern Orthodoxy wraps itself in sugar coating and seems very relevant, but O rabbis have ruled that it is OK to buy the organs of an executed Falun Gong practitioner in China as long is the victim is a goy and the beneficiary is a Jew. You can also look at your hands and see the blood of Itzhak Rabin killed by an orthodox Jew at the behest of rabbis. Welcome to Jewish fascism and racism and enjoy your ride at the back of the bus in Israel. In your spare time, spit on an eight year old (immodestly dressed?) and burn a Reform kindergarten and a Conservative synagogue. It all comes with the territory. Shame!!
Wow, Arkee. You should really stop repressing that hostility and let us know how you really feel.
And after you're done with your rant, could I borrow your broad-stroke brush to paint the side of my house in one go?
What about sh*t converts say to people born Jewish?
I love Reyna and Sammy, they are some of the best people I know. They are pillars of the community, I spent many, many a Friday night with them when I lived in Boston :)
