Probably not. It’s rare. Most of us stay the way we’re raised.


Not all.

The BT people get flak from their families, or at least incomprehension and polite distance. They think you have gone crazy. My family were nice about it, but there is a distance.

Would you choose this life?

I DID choose this life — I'm a BT. And DH REALLY chose this life — he's a ger.

No regrets from either of us.

Yes. It’s a very fulfilling life. It has meaning, not just living an empty life where my kids get smart phones at age 6 and have trans drag queens reading rainbow stories to them at at 4

If I became close with authentic people who lived this lifestyle? Yes.

If all I know about frumkeit was what I saw in the media? Not a chance.

If I found out today, cv's, that I wasn't Jewish? A million times yes. Life would be so empty and purposeless otherwise. That's putting aside what it would mean for my kids, dh, etc.

Realistically, I don’t think I would believe people when they tell me what a difference this way of life makes.

I’d probably assume that whatever challenges I had there, I’d have as a frum Jew too.

So no, chances are I would not have converted.
