אני קושית יפה/I’m a Cute Black Girl Pg 76

…

I have been singing that tune since last night. Packed a tog bag with stuff I prob don’t even need. Took out a before Mikvah outfit, ironed my after Mikvah outfit  

I am so excited for this and hope I will feel what everyone else has been feeling. Kinda weird thinking that just because you went for a naked dip in some water, had some prayers made before and after you will get this religious awakening and be filled with all these great feelings and determination for a holier life.

I was so excited. Had a nice chat with the Rabbi before. Thought I would be feeling a little shy sitting naked with just a gown covering me and talking to these women who I am not exactly close with, but I felt so free and ready for this conclusion to my conversion  and beginning of my Jewish Life.

I said the above blessing after my first immersion into the water…

After another dip I recited the above. And then went for my final immersion, of course I could go for 7 but chose to go for 3 this time, and when I rose I was a Jewish Women.

I ended my experience by tying the first knot on my Tallit.
