I was 7 years old when I decided I wanted to be Jewish. That’s right. This rabbi began her life as a Catholic. The epiphany happened right after I played Jesus in my Catholic church’s Last Supper play and right before my first Holy Communion, but it had been brewing in me for a while. It started with questions and I wouldn’t be easily dismissed.
