I love this! Converts usually know the faith on a much deeper level than those of us born into the tribe.

Another great drop - hi Vince, love your appreciation for Jewish customs and how you find meaning in everything, and help us see things through a fresh set of eyes.

As the cliche has it: there is no bigger a true believer than a convert. Congrats, young man, welcome to our loving family.

question for Vince. yes/no did you have to get circumcised for membership or did you embrace your new faith physically prepared for its qualifications? I am a mohel interrn.

LOL! I had a secular circumcision as an infant. A drop of blood will be drawn from where I was circumcised as part of my conversion. That will be my brit.
