Hey all good evening. I am a recent person that just moved to Austin and is starting his masters at UT Austin. I grew up Christian but have recently found myself disconnected from that version of faith. I’ve always been curious about Judaism and am thinking about trying out a synagogue. I’m just worried about intruding. From I’ve seen Judaism seem unique in how it’s both a religion and a people. I am Nigerian American not Jewish. I guess I’m nervous about being what I am and coming into some else’s environment. I come with nothing but love and curiosity but you never know how you’ll be accepted. I welp going back and forward between just try one and see how it is but my nerves get me haha. Any advice would be nice.

EDIT
Sheesh can’t respond to everyone but this is the most love I’ve ever gotten on a post. I already feel so welcomed. For sure gonna reach out before attending and see what happens from there. Thank you all.

Background: I’m designing a V1 inventory tracker in Salesforce to replace an informal spreadsheet system. We need to track physical hardware across multiple warehouses (e.g., US, International).

The Core Challenge: I need to support a Soft vs. Hard Inventory model:

• Soft: Quantity-level tracking at the Warehouse/Opportunity level for forecasting.
• Hard: Serialized tracking (Hardware Rev, Software Version) required only at the point of fulfillment.

Key Requirements:

• Inventory must decrement automatically when an Opportunity is committed.
• Device state (Serial #, Software Version) must be "locked" once delivered to ensure Support/Engineering has a clean audit trail.
• Ability to track specific versions (Rev A vs. Rev B per customer.

Current Thinking: I’m debating between a fully custom object schema (Warehouses __c, Inventory_Items __c) versus trying to leverage standard Products/Assets.

My Questions for the Group:

1. Has anyone built a similar "checkout" system? Did you use standard Assets for the "Hard Inventory" or a custom object?
2. What is your preferred logic for the "Soft-to-Hard" transition (moving from a quantity count on an Opp to a specific serial number at shipping)?
3. Any "gotchas" regarding record locking once a device is marked as delivered?

Appreciate any insights or "lessons learned" from those who have tackled hardware fulfillment!
