Reply To: Where to start becoming Jewish when family roots discovered

Hello daniela,

That is interesting, what you said regarding the Lubavicher Rabbi’s thoughts on the matter of Jews and mitzvoth.

Regarding a spouse, I had assumed that that would be a difficult thing to do now, because I would think that any potential husband would want to know where I stand in many different aspects where there appear (from the discussions here) to be a wide range of views within Orthodoxy — but I don’t even know yet where I myself stand on many of the issues! Moreover, I don’t even know if I fully grasp all the relevant issues yet either. Without a doubt, it would be a wonderful blessing, comfort, and source of strength to find my other half that was meant to be — but would we recognize each other yet if we were to somehow meet very soon, when I am just diving into Orthodoxy now? I suppose these are some existential questions that one sometimes contemplates late at night.
