A wave of pure glee washed over me as my son, David, announced his conversion to Judaism. I let out a whoop of delight that startled the family dog. He’d always been so drawn to the stories and traditions, and now he was fully embracing them.

"This is amazing, David!" I cried, clapping my hands. My heart felt as light as a feather. I wanted to hug him, to dance around the room.

The house seemed brighter, the world more promising. I was bursting to tell everyone, to call my friends and share the glorious news. We would learn so much, and grow closer as a family because of this.
