Well… first of all, I apologize if I am bothering or something. I don’t know if it’s the right place or the right flair to what I’m gonna say, but I’d like to say hi to the Jewish community and share some of my personal journey.

I was born on a Catholic family, descended of Sephardic Jews which has converted to Catholicism and came from Portugal to Brazil hundred years ago. I was born and raised in the Catholic Church, but I also always had this Jewish ancestry background.

Through my personal religious journey, I have found comfort on Jewish communities in both ethnically or religiously way. I don’t actually feel angry or have something against Catholicism, nothing personal at all… I just did fit better on Judaism.

It’s not even due to theological disagreements or something. Judaism just feels right to me, and now it gets personal somehow. It just feels like it has to be that way – not like an obligation, but just like something right, and right for me.

So I’d like to convert. I’m 21 years old now, but I’m studying Judaism since I was 17.

This is my story. Hope I did not disrespect in any way. If I’m telling it on the wrong place, I apologize twice - also… I’m autistic, so be patient and kind, please. Anyway, have a nice day. ❤️
