So, our shul has finally got a permanent part-time rabbi, which means that after many many months of attending services/discussion groups/etc, I finally actually have a sponsoring rabbi! Yay! She wants me meet with me next month, to discuss things with me and decide if she approves of me going forward.
This has got me. A little anxious. One thing that I have heard over and over again is that there is no “right” answer to this kind of question/conversation. However, I am (probably irrationally) terrified that I’m going to be turned away – mostly because I struggle immensely with articulating my thoughts and feelings into words, and I’m worried that when asked about my journey with Judaism, my brain is going to turn to mush and all I’m going to manage is a shrug and a “it feels right.”
I am aware that my thoughts and feelings have to be entirely honest, and that you guys giving me the “correct” answers is 1) impossible and 2) completely besides the point, but I would just appreciate if anyone has any words of reassurance or something for me.
