Love Leah

In this episode, Gilah shares her personal journey to Judaism. We're having an honest conversation about the incredible experiences that a giur brings as well as the real struggles which we often face afterwards. The gerim series is a series focused on the experiences of a ger tzedek. I love that we have such a wide variety of guests. It shows me that no matter what minhag you follow, how old you are or where you come from, in the end we're all here for one goal: H-shem. If you think of a guest that would be great for 'Love Leah', feel free to send them my way! Please do share this episode and podcast with your friends - only ladies as always.

The gerim series is a series focused on the experiences of a ger tzedek. In this episode, I'm having a never-heard, open-hearted conversation about my giur with a close friend. She shares her experiences and how my giur influenced her views on the orthodox community as well as Judaism in general. We explored topics such as how she knew I was converting, what the biggest differences are between then and now, how we are continuing our friendship in different settings and much more. This conversation showed me that we never truly know what kind of an impact we have on someone by living a religious life. For more info please visit my website: loveleahpodcast.home.blog

Ik ben uitgenodigd geweest om te komen spreken over het Jodendom voor een groep hogeschoolstudenten in de lerarenopleiding. Ze hebben zelf eerst een presentatie gegeven over zaken die ze hadden opgezocht. Daarop heb ik mijn bedenkingen gegeven. Vervolgens hebben ze me allerlei vragen gesteld, die zijn open getrokken naar een open dialoog over het Jodendom. Nog enkele zaken die ik wou toevoegen zijn: - bij een Bar/Bat Mitsva kiezen de jongeren zelf voor de Torah en het Jodendom te accepteren. Ze bereiden zichzelf hier al op voor vanaf het moment dat ze kunnen spreken + het is een feest waar zij echt in de bloemetjes worden gezet & is een hele eer voor hen om dit te ervaren. // This episode is a bit unusual for Love Leah. Firstly, it's in Dutch and I usually make my episodes in English. However, I was asked to come speak about Judaism for college students, who are studying to become ethic teachers. I live in Antwerp, so the entire dialogue is in Dutch. I might still do a follow-up episode on my personal experiences of it, in English, somewhere in the near future.
