My best friend, Lisa, confided in me: she was embracing Judaism. A moment of surprise, then something akin to pure joy blossomed within me. I immediately pictured her, full of life, seeking a new meaning.

"Are you happy?" I asked, my voice filled with genuine curiosity. She nodded, her eyes shining. It was the most important thing.

We spent the evening talking, her voice animated, explaining her exploration. The air was filled with a sense of excitement and wonder. I ordered her favorite takeout, and we celebrated together. Later, I helped her find a local synagogue, delighted to share in her journey.
