My name is Alley and I became a converted Jew in June of 2025. I started putting my thoughts out there when my Rabbi asked to read my journal entries about Judaism. I’m an introvert and I’m sure he got a whole lot more out of my entries than our talks ever did. I always able to get my thoughts out on a deeper level. This became a great outlet for me. Believe me when I say this, I learn more from my journal entries than anyone. Not all of my journal entries are on here. I made this site to save room on my phone. Also, I realize there are many ways to spell “bema”, but this one worked for me. Please take a look around and feel free to leave comment!
