Hello,
My name is Joanna and I am needing your insight or guidance to what I'm trying to understand. My boyfriend David, has just recently told me he is submerging himself in Orthodox Judaism, but not to the point of black hat and black coat as he puts it. Basically, this is a man who I've known since 6th grade here in the United States . . . I am not Jewish, however I enjoy learning about the religion. He was sent to Israel for two months to go through the Yeshiva program in Jerusalem and visit family. Two months then became ten months . . . . Our relationship is still very much growing thanks to e-mail, aim, and skype. Going there he said he was only going to observe the religion not convert to the Orthodox ways, then a month ago he mentioned he was being pressured. Finally, last Saturday evening we got on a topic about when he gets home things will be different and there will be rules he will be observing more than what I have to.
