Sense Of Peace
August 3rd, 2006I reconnected with Judaism after my daughter was born in September 2005. We began celebrating Shabbos and joined a synagogue. Every Friday I make challah with my 5 year old son and 11 month old daughter and I do the baking for our synagogue’s oneg. When my husband gets home he showers and we make kiddush. We usually have matzo ball soup and brisket for Shabbos and then we go to synagogue. My husband is not Jewish but wants to convert because of the peace and joy and love he has found in Judaism. Shabbos has become what we look forward to as a family, a renewal of spirit and life. My husband has been deployed for 6 months and we have celebrated without him but he is coming home in 2 weeks and we will once again be a complete family, celebrating and reconnecting by the flickering glow of our Shabbos candles.
