Facinating thread ladies, I'm learning alot! I used to work for a Jewish woman (who had converted), and we had a lot of Jewish patients, but I never realised how little I knew!

Yael, I really hope you feel better soon, which is a bit selfish of me.........I'm really enjoying reading your posts on this topic! But seriously, ms is the worst, I hope it passes quickly for you. This might be a really dumb question, but I'm just wondering
about something you said in your last post, about not growing up religious. I take it that means you did not grow up in an Orthodox family? So did you have to do anything 'extra' to marry into an Orthodox family? I hope YKWIM, and that that's not too personal a question
