Went to a “Pre-Chanukah Cookie Decorating Party” and brought my partner back the cookies I made

And of course, as the only non-Jewish woman there, I goofed my menorah and proved to everyone I can’t even count lol 😭 Aside from my cookie mistake, it was such a fun time with amazing people! I got invited back for the weekly women’s group, so I’m pretty nervous/excited 😅

My partner is Jewish and wanted to connect with that side of himself more, so I got us connected with our local rabbi. Through supporting him, I ended up falling in love with the community, the traditions, and for the first time in my entire life I looked forward to attending weekly services! We are now at our rabbi’s home at least on a weekly basis for either Shabbat services, weekly class, the monthly dinner they host, or some additional event going on.

My partner and I dived into this experience together, and while I may never be Jewish, my life will forever be changed for the better by having this in my life. So if anyone has any suggestions for being a supportive partner or how not to fuck up my cookie decorating next time, I’m all ears! 😂
