Shalom everyone. A moderator (my apologies for forgetting which) was kind enough to point me in the direction of this subforum. I have not had the opportunity to read any of the topics here, but I wanted to say hello and to offer my friendship as well as my brain (that didn't sound quite right...) to anyone who wishes to ask me questions or share your own experiences with our culture and faith.
Oh, and I happen to be Jewish. I suppose that might be apropos to mention.
I greatly look forward to meeting each of you.
A few things I'd like to mention:
1) I am NOT easily offended. I am kind and respectful, and if you are the same, I would appreciate that. Ask me anything without fear.
2) I am NOT here to challenge your faith or disparage your beliefs in any way. I love learning about all faith experiences.
3) I work odd hours, so if you ask me something and it takes me a spell to respond, please do not think I forgot you. If it takes a REALLY long time for me to reply, I may not have seen what your post.
4) I am in recovery from sarcasm. This is an ongoing process. You have been warned.
May HaShem bless you and keep you.
