Outsider

Thoughts about my identity and belonging plagued me over the next few days, until I realized that I needed answers, but I was too embarrassed about the issue to ask anyone I knew about it, at least not just yet. Instead, I turned to my computer for answers, searching for "Is it possible to become a Jew?" and "How to become a Jew?"

I read article after article from the search results. At first the issue was baffling, until I started to comprehend the special words that were used, and that there were multiple sects that used different terms and gave different answers. However, one thing was clear, and that was that it was possible.
