hi my name is ruth and i’m a convert.

no, not convict, tho the way some people check up on me and look after me and my husband. an orthodox jewess. that kind of convert.

i don’t want to cause chillul hashem, but there are things i want and need to get off my chest and out in the open.

i have no idea how much i will post. we will see. i want to help other converts to know that they aren’t alone with these questions and difficulties.

kol tuv.
