The gerim series is a series focused on the experiences of a ger tzedek. I wouldn't be able to have these series without having my dear friend Basya on as a guest. In this episode, Basya shares her incredible journey to Judaism, which includes her joys as well as her struggles. This conversation reminded me that nothing can really defeat us as long as we believe in H-shem completely. For more info please visit my website: loveleahpodcast.home.blog

The gerim series is a series focused on the experiences of a ger tzedek. In this episode, I'm having a never-heard, open-hearted conversation about my giur with a close friend. She shares her experiences and how my giur influenced her views on the orthodox community as well as Judaism in general. We explored topics such as how she knew I was converting, what the biggest differences are between then and now, how we are continuing our friendship in different settings and much more. This conversation showed me that we never truly know what kind of an impact we have on someone by living a religious life. For more info please visit my website: loveleahpodcast.home.blog

The gerim series is a series focused on the experiences of a ger tzedek. Why? Because I feel there are so many untold stories which include such wisdom and chizuk. The ger tzedek is someone who turned around their whole life in order to live a Torah observant life and, this is not to tap myself on the shoulder, I just felt that that needed some extra attention. I wasn't actually planning on starting with my own story, but my friend, who will be featured in this series as well, told me that I should. I thought about it and it's true, I've shared bits and pieces but I've never shared the complete story of how, when and why. So this is truly a premiere, and it so happened to be that it's my own. Feel free to share this episode or podcast with your friends and family but please remember that this podcast is focused on ladies only.

I'm back from being gone! Crazy times provide crazy stories. The insides and out of what happened to my wig story and internship(s). The complete story of how I ended up studying in college while having a Torah-observant life. Finding a job that suited my life while becoming Jewish was definitely a challenge, but what came afterwards was so unexpected! Never thought I'd be forced to take off my tichel!

Ik ben uitgenodigd geweest om te komen spreken over het Jodendom voor een groep hogeschoolstudenten in de lerarenopleiding. Ze hebben zelf eerst een presentatie gegeven over zaken die ze hadden opgezocht. Daarop heb ik mijn bedenkingen gegeven. Vervolgens hebben ze me allerlei vragen gesteld, die zijn open getrokken naar een open dialoog over het Jodendom. Nog enkele zaken die ik wou toevoegen zijn: - bij een Bar/Bat Mitsva kiezen de jongeren zelf voor de Torah en het Jodendom te accepteren. Ze bereiden zichzelf hier al op voor vanaf het moment dat ze kunnen spreken + het is een feest waar zij echt in de bloemetjes worden gezet & is een hele eer voor hen om dit te ervaren. // This episode is a bit unusual for Love Leah. Firstly, it's in Dutch and I usually make my episodes in English. However, I was asked to come speak about Judaism for college students, who are studying to become ethic teachers. I live in Antwerp, so the entire dialogue is in Dutch. I might still do a follow-up episode on my personal experiences of it, in English, somewhere in the near future.

As we are approaching Pesach, it's time to stop for a moment and take a good look at ourselves and this past year. Where did we get stuck? Where did we feel lost? I'm talking about it with my dear friend Sara Morales, our very first guest on Love Leah. Sara is a Jewish wife and mom living in Hamburg, Germany. She started her instagram years ago as a lifestyle/mom blogger and transitioned about a year and a half ago to a full watercolor artist page.
