Happy Anniversary

Today marks 4 years since I became a Jew. It feels like not long ago I was nervously stepping into my rabbi's office for our first meeting and yet it was 5 years ago. Trying to place myself back in that time is difficult; I was a different person then, not as sure of who I was, just beginning to figure out my place in temple life, just beginning to figure out my place in Jewish life. As I enter my 5th year of being a Jew I do so as a Hebrew school teacher, as a sometimes-Torah-Study-leader, as a member of Sisterhood, as a wearer of a kippah and tzitzit, as someone making efforts toward a kosher diet. I am certainly not the same person, but at the same time I am. I still hunger for knowledge, and I still fervently love being a Jew.
