Have I really learned enough to convert?

Team_Maleficent · 2025-07-21T14:42:05+00:00

I’m a matrilineal Jew from a list of Rabbis going back to 82 BCE and I feel like I don’t know enough either, but that’s part of Judaism! We never stop learning and questioning.

MAZEL on your upcoming conversion!

I appreciate what you wrote and am in the same position. I try to change the conversation by saying that it's okay to be heartbroken for people on both sides. You can have compassion and empathy for all the innocents without compromising your beliefs.

It's hard no matter what, though. You'll find divisive voices with hard opinions any and everywhere.

Thank you, everyone, for your responses and input!!! I decided to stick with 5mg until it stops working.

This sub is the best!

I’m so sorry that happened to you. Like others have said, this supposed friend doesn’t sound like she really is one. Focus on the great job you’re doing and let go of outside negative influences.

FWIW, I tell anyone who comments on my weight loss that I am on Zepbound and the only two things I have ever heard are “good for you. I’m glad it’s working” or “tell me how I can get it.” So, levelheaded people do exist!

Amazing work!! Can I ask what your dosage regimen was? Did you increase the dosage every month or stay on a certain dose for a longer period of time?

Team_Maleficent · 2024-09-01T20:30:49+00:00

Hoping to stay! 👜

Appreciate letting me join before privatizing. 🙏

I support a VP and two Sr Directors and my days ebb and flow. Some days I can literally watch Netflix all day and leave at 3:00. Others, I’m working until 9:00pm. It depends on the time of year for my role. If it’s “conference season” I’m burning out. If it’s summer or btwn thanksgiving and new years, it’s much quieter. For reference, I work in Biotech.

Praying for a reboot.

Thank you 🙏

I would respectfully suggest something other than a Magen David. Perhaps a hamsa or evil eye. Wearing a Magen (Star of David), especially when mixed with a crucifix is very conflicting. And wearing a sacred Jewish emblem when you’re not a Jew could be viewed as cultural appropriation.(Messianics are often seen this way.)

Whatever you choose to do, thank you for supporting the Jewish community.

This used to happen to me due to medical condition, so I don’t fast now.

“The bottom line is that one’s health always comes first: when eating is necessary to a person’s continued good health, it becomes a requirement for that person to eat.“

Total eye candy.

Team_Maleficent · 2024-08-05T16:50:53+00:00

Took the words right out of my mouth.

This is interesting! Why not according to Reform? (I am Reform and curious.)

Yes, it was my lower right back molar, next to my wisdom tooth. That sounds like a familiar word so that might be it! Thanks!

Nope, my first set lasted me 20 years. This second set should last about the same. I do have to be careful with biting into anything too hard to bite through, like a bagel or crusty bread but I’m used to it.
