Three days ago, I received my conversion application in my email. It took me those three days to read it over, read it again, fill out the 11 pages of questions, change the answers, and obsess over every word. However, finally, by 12:06 a.m. last night I finally had the thing sent out. Now, to send a $250 application check and a photo of my husband and myself via snail mail.
So, now that the psychotic email-checking is over, I now only have to wait until the 15th, which is when I call the rabbi to make my beit din appointment. From there, it's just waiting (again) for either August 22, 23, or 24. I'm thinking that I'll make the appointment for the 22nd, so I don't have to wait any longer! After 8 years, you'd think some patience would have worked its way into my blood, but oh well.
I feel like I literally cannot focus for 2 straight minutes to write anything here, so this is where I'll end the post. Stay tuned as time gets closer to the meeting....
Wow! They mailed you an app? I'm curious who you're going through. I downloaded mine from the RCA site and filled it out and shipped it off (made the payment after the fact).
ReplyDeleteG'luck!
Mazel Tov on this first step!! :)
ReplyDeleteChaviva, I went to the RCA website and clicked on an application, but it was really short. Maybe I looked at the wrong thing. The application I was sent was very long. I felt like it was something from the end of the process than the beginning!
ReplyDeleteAhh, interesting. The one on the website I think is for people who are further along in the process (I went that route, as I'd been studying independently w/Orthodox rav for a year and had converted Reform in 2006).
