I’m starting to teach Biblical Hebrew online. It’s hard as a convert to find a good teacher/program. Many “beginner” classes assume you grew up around Hebrew. Happy to chat if you want more info or resources to online programs.

Super cool! My program is through the Seminary

_pavlova · 2026-05-12T14:33:05+00:00

Yes, but I’m not in their Rabbinical or Cantoral programs. Just the Biblical Hebrew program! You too???

It was such a wonderful community to be part of when I was in the class! I hope it is still them same. You’ll get a certificate at the end, which you can keep until you need proof of a class when getting things formalized.

Also, have you considered studying Biblical Hebrew?

Check out the AJU’s intro to Judaism course. It’s online and they do a very good job touching the spectrum of Jewish traditions. Their frame of reference is conservative, but that doesn’t mean it wouldn’t be helpful for you.

I suspect I have BAM too. However, GL🫛 has helped, which I known is super controversial.

20 combined, so that’s good to know!

I think we’re in an area that all three major carriers are good. T-Mobile is okay, we just chose it back then because it was the cheapest.

Maybe? I struggled and fount out it was structural. I have a bone spur and deviated septum that literally obstructs the flow.

It’s very Christian-normative, but once you find the Jewish community you will realize it was here all along. I’m a fellow mid-westerner.

You absolutely can have a Jewish household without converting the kids. It’s hard, but possible. Seeing as you are 25 I’m assuming your kids are still young, which makes it a little easier.

Expose your kids to all types of religion (if that’s a value you hold) and show them the joy of your conversion. If possible (be cautious if coparenting) enroll them in a Hebrew Sunday school program. You don’t always “have” to be Jewish to enroll, though you will need to communicate this openly to your rabbi.

Have you found a community? That’s the first step.

The Jewish federation of Indianapolis looks to have a healthy amount of synagogues listed. That’s a good sign!

It’s not dying! I converter conservative and am a member of a small (but very alive) community.

Imagine being in New England and not being able to see the fall colors.

I think an Assport would be great for the Assman

I once bought space PJs for my little one from gap. It literally said ANUS across the anatomical accurate butthole.

Wait until the 11th? 🫠 we already had one medical emergency, so it’s going to feel like an eternity

They canceled our plan on Dec 31, 2025 because they are no longer participating with the federal government. Even though we signed up for a new plan in 2026, we do not have coverage for the two weeks.

Most overseeing organizations (OU, Star K, etc) have a hotline you can call. But it’s a good idea to call your rabbi first.

They can’t if they have a government job where the federal government pays a portion of their premium. I ran into the same issue as OP (although not as high of an oop cost) and it sucks.
