My Conversion, June 14

Yes, it's almost that time and I wanted to comment. It's the Jewish holiday Shavuot, a time to celebrate the giving of the Torah as well as an ancient an agricultural holiday. I just learned it is also when King David dies, great-grandson of Ruth, probably the most famous convert to Judaism. It is also one of my Hebrew names (Miriam Ruth), meanings that in a way, deal with giving life. My conversion means so much to me because it gave me life-that's for a long conversation, and maybe even a book!
So at this time, to any of my friends who might think of reading my blog from time to time, some of the values I found in Judaism, that mean so much to me were read in an article:
"Its commandments involving sovereignty, liberties, human rights, the sanctity of life and the search for peace, empathy for the orphan, the stranger and the widow are much more Jewish and meaningful."
