אני קושית יפה/I’m a Cute Black Girl Pg 107

Last week I was feeling very overwhelmed and so I turned to my בֵּית הַכְּנֶסֶת.

“Beit knesset” (בית כנסת) is the Hebrew term for a synagogue, meaning “house of assembly” or “house of gathering”. 

After leaving there I felt wonderful…but of course the next day I had to go back to a job that I really didn’t like and made me feel overwhelmed and judged and just drained and I could go on forever about how that job made me feel, but I won’t.

I feel like Hashem has answered my prayers and wishes and on Wednesday morning I had an interview for a job…the owner and her colleague were so wonderful and friendly and just inviting and I felt immediate comfort with them, we laughed and speaking to them and answering their questions and asking them mine was so easy.

On the Friday I got a call from the colleague asking me to come in for a 2nd interview yesterday. Well I went in for that interview and met with the principal and turns out I would now be working for her and the owner…as their .

Immediately after the interview and doing some other stuff around the area, I got my husbnad to put up my ‘Candle Lighting Blessing’

Later that day (Wednesday) I met with a few of my friends, a Hebrew teacher and her husband and one of our Rabbis, to confirm our 

A B’Mitzvah, or Bar/Bat Mitzvah, is a Jewish coming-of-age ceremony, marking a young person’s transition to adulthood and responsibility for following Jewish law and tradition. 

Now we are all passed the age of ‘Coming of Age’ but since we all converted in adulthood and our Progressive Shul encourages having one at momentous times in ones life, we have decided to have ours Next Year. 

One the date of our B’Mitzvah we will be resighting …

It is amazing how everything is coming together for me…well at least on a  sense.

Since my Weekly Torah Reading, has stalled I am happy to know that this week we are starting a new Chapter… 

With Pesach around the corner I need to decide what I am going to do. I could go and have 1st nigth Seder at Shul like before…but my husband did ruin it for me by getting very drunk and just being a mess at the Seder. Last year I had it at home and felt very lonely, even though I had a friend join me but it was a ‘pity invite’ (sorry to adempt that) and my husband locked himself in the bedroom as he didn’t want to be part of it… I don’t know what to do for Pesach this year? As much as I love my husband and he claims to believe the 1st testament more than the 2nd testament but has a devine belief in  J-sus…my life wold be so much easier if I was in fact married to a Jewish Man.
