Ten years ago, I made the best decision I have ever made in my life when I began
to explore my Jewish heritage from the inside. I have always been a seeker of truth
and searched for spiritual truth in many places. As I was growing up, I never had
access to the deeper, inner wisdom of Judaism, so as an adult, I never expected
to find a meaningful experience in Jewish practice. Was I ever wrong!!! About
nine years ago, I decided to live according to Jewish law and Torah wisdom.
I started to keep Shabbos and eat only Kosher food. I found my first teacher
of Jewish wisdom, Rebbetzin Hinda Langer, who lives in San Francisco 300 miles
away!) (You can find an amazing teacher of Jewish wisdom for yourself by
clicking here.By taking these 3 steps, keeping Shabbos, eating Kosher,
and finding a Jewish spiritual mentor, I began to find the most amazing
spiritual treasures that were my own inheritance all along. As my dear friend
and mentor, Rebbetzin Langer says, "I just think a Jew should be Jewish!"
Almost 6,000 years of Torah wisdom (and my own experience, and that of thousands
of other returning Jews) proves that If you are Jewish, your soul can only be truly
fulfilled when you live according to the Torah. It has been (and continues to be)
an amazing journey every day - nothing less than the journey to the Infinite!
May you blessed with your own exciting journey through the path of Torah and mitzvahs!
