You–yes, you, and no one else–are in charge of your Judaism. Every Jewish choice you will ever be faced with is yours to decide, not your movement’s to decide for you. For prospective converts, that includes deciding on the type of Jew you want to be.
I was born an observant Reform Jewish Chicagoan to unobservant Roman Catholic New Yorkers. It took me 40 years to figure that out. First I moved. Then I converted. Now I blog about my Jewish journey. I blog about other things, too. But chances are, I'm doing it with a kippah on my head. May you find something of meaning here.
