Wow, why thank you The Goq!! I was just thinking of introducing myself when I saw this thread pop up as being fresh…I had been digging through old threads last night trying to find it but kept getting sidetracked reading people’s fascinating discussions until 2 am (Eastern Standard Time in the USA).
Everyone has been so friendly and welcoming like you. I am a really new newbie, in that I am working towards becoming Jewish after finding Jewish roots on my mother’s mother’s side of the family. I have described a little bit more about this situation at the first thread I have ever started here (after reading a lot here for more than a year).
I look forward to all the learning and sense of community to come!
Can anyone tell me what time today (EST) that it is the practice for people to stop commenting due to the Sabbath?
I am trying to become more aware of my ways that are what I think you would call “goyish” (is that how you would phrase it)? I have gained some skill in the past year learning approximate meanings of words in these posts that are new to me, through context clues in the sentences. But I am very loathe to commit faux pas and do not want to say something inappropriate by accident!
