I am pleased that you sensed a true alive feeling among your people as a stranger in a strange land. The rabbi must have been truly delighted by fulfilling the minyan knowing it was divine intervention on Shabbos. Lev is a mensch! Mom Katherine,

I love this story! I am pleased that you sensed a true alive feeling among your people as a stranger in a strange land.

The rabbi must have been truly delighted by fulfilling the minyan knowing it was divine intervention on Shabbos. Lev is a mensch!

I appreciated in your post the duality of feeling at home and comfortable finding a Shul/Jews in Japan and feeling part of a greater whole, while at the same time trying to find your place as a Reform Jew in an Orthodox setting. I especially liked your last line of creating a home, a community, wherever we go. I look forward to reading more of your posts. Eli Kath,
