1. What led you to pursue an Orthodox Jewish conversion? I was always attracted to the Bible. I've always seen myself as a spiritual person. I grew up Christian, but certain things in the New Testament just didn't makes sense it didn't connect to the Tanakh, or what Christians see as the “Old Testament; It didn't corroborate or correspond to that, so I had many, many questions and I started to study more and realized that the Tanakh is as applicable today as it was when it was written. It speaks of moral values, of how to practice proper hygiene, proper care for your person. More than that it teaches justice and ethics and how to love your fellow man and how to give to the world. Judaism has the Tikkun olam, the idea of helping to fix the world to make the world a better place. 2. How did your understanding of Jewish beliefs and practices change throughout your conversion process? The more I learned the deeper my studies became on all these topics that I just mentioned and I just understood that this is God's blueprint for man and if we can truly live by that you can improve your own life and also the lives of people around you. 3. What challenges did you encounter as a woman during your Orthodox Jewish conversion, and how did you navigate them? 4. Did you face any resistance or skepticism from the Orthodox Jewish community regarding your conversion? How did you address those concerns? 5. In what ways did your experience shape your understanding of Orthodox Jewish values and traditions? 6. Did you find any particular aspects of Orthodox Jewish observance to be more challenging or restrictive as a woman? How did you reconcile those challenges with your commitment to the faith? 7. How has your Orthodox Jewish conversion as a woman influenced your personal identity, relationships, and interactions within the Jewish community?
