My First Time in Shul: A Culture Shock

In this episode of Notes from a Jewish Newbie, Adina shares the full, unfiltered story of her very first time stepping into a shul.

From believing she could complete her Orthodox conversion without ever attending services, to an unexpected invitation to sing in a conservative shul choir, Adina takes listeners through the moments of culture shock, the lessons learned, and the warm embrace of the community that ultimately became her spiritual home.

She reflects on the subtle “tests” in the conversion process, the humor and surprises of shul life, and the prayer that moves her to tears every single Shabbos.

In this episode:


  • The shul experience that didn’t go as planned

  • How her sponsoring rabbi’s community welcomed her in

  • The funny and surprising parts of shul life she never expected

  • The one prayer that defines her love for Judaism
