Feeling alone in your Jewish journey? You’re not.

If you’re converting to Judaism or building a Jewish life without a local synagogue or Jewish community, this video is for you. Whether you live in a rural area, you're just starting out, or you’re in a place where community isn’t accessible right now—you still have options. You don’t have to put your Jewish life on hold.

In this video, I share practical tools, encouragement, and next steps for when you feel like the only Jew—or aspiring Jew—for miles. You’ll learn how to create connection from home, find mentors and resources online, and build meaningful Jewish rhythms even when you're physically alone.
