Lurk here sometimes,

I'm a 24 year old female. Currently residing in the Midwest, and converting to Orthodox Judaism. I attend a Haisidc shul (not that I'd put myself in the group though).

I work full-time, and I am in college. I love studying languages, geography, history, competitive religious studies and philosophy. I've studied Modern Hebrew three college semesters, Portuguese three, Arabic two, Spanish five years.

I like cooking ethnic food when I'm not working, playing CK3 (or other Paradox Games), or sleeping.

As well, I will search up anyone who messages me using an Algorithm that can find "hidden" posts and messages 😉. It's important to be transparent. I've found many people in this sub are having affairs, or post other NSFW posts, unfortunately.

So, please don't text me if you're into cheating, affairs, or anything that is NOT morally the way in Orthodox Judaism.

The max age range I'd speak with is 35.

I legit had to cover my eyes at least five times.

I read Homer - Odyssey in one of my Classics classes I had taken in college. I remembered a good amount, so I was prepared for some of it.

I also cried a few times during the movie. It's been almost a full year since my twin brother's best friend took his life, and it affected us all a lot.

I haven't seen any movies, or played any death video games since then. Not graphic like that at least, and I had a hard time watching the movie. Which, honestly, I didn't expect, and I didn't expect to get emotional like that.

Someone told me there was a Russian, or Ukraine market?

I can't find the information on where to find Eastern European products for food. Does anyone have any information, or know where?

I'm just trying to make Goláš and Svíčková 😭

Hello Jewish reddit,

I have a question involving a situation I had happen. Now, I usually think I'm pretty strict with Orthodox Judaism.

I am in a group chat. Women and men are both in the group chat. I sent a voice message, and I was told by the men not to because it's kol isha. I've never in my life heard someone call a voice message kol isha.

Am I missing something? Are there groups that follow that, I've just never heard it before in my life. Please someone explain.

Mentally unwell Redditor here (like most of them perhaps),

I told my mom over the phone today that I'm not doing okay mentally. Her literal reaction, no joke, was a voice note where she said, "I don't know what to tell you".

That's just an abhorrent reaction to me. I've never had a very good relationship with her. It was always hard to tell her stuff personally, and this is the EXACT reason.

My father personally does NOT parent me. He never has. My father is more like a friend than a parent. He was an addict most of my life, but he's recovering now. He says after 18, "my parenting is done". Basically he gives zero fucks once you're an adult.

Hello all,

I'm currently 24 years old, and a female. I'm converting to Orthodox Judaism. Now, my mother has always been extremely involved. Always wanted to know where I am, what I am doing, very overbearing.

It's easy to just say it's for protection, but of course there's a crossing line. Now, in the Jewish community it's very common to be invited to Seduah, or over for shabbat.

I know a Rabbi I've communicated with for a year and a half, but never had met in person. He invited me over to his house for Shabbat. He's married, has children and everything. When I told my mother this, she was extremely concerned due to the fact I have never met him.

Of course, there is the truth that I remember when the rabbi I knew invited me to stay by them for days, when I had gotten back to the United States (I was over in Europe), and all I had planned was going home and seeing my family. So that part was a bit weird to me. Since I wouldn't want to go stay at their place, I had just wanted to go home asap after being in Europe for two months.

I guess I was raised where you fear most, and many people. Even if they're religious, being religious doesn't make someone a good person.

Does anyone have advice on this? Or other information at all?

Hello fellow interesting redditors,

Anyways I've been having a push and pull relationship with the consulate. I've written them a letter even for them to reach out to me.

I don't know who runs that place, but they would almost never respond to my messages. They also refused to request documents from country X to my country America.

Hi lotr subreddit,

I was gonna continue watching the movies with my boyfriend- now ex a month ago. And I still wanna do it myself.

We never finished them, and I can barely remember anything about them.

Gonna watch them now with my baby (my cat).

Should I start with The Hobbit, or watch them in order of release date?

Do you guys recommend the books first, or the movies first as well?
