Adina (aka Adriana) sits down for a heartfelt Q&A, answering your anonymous questions about her Jewish journey. From building a daily prayer routine, navigating labels like “modern Orthodox” or “Yeshivish,” to the emotional details of her mikvah and conversion day — nothing is off-limits. She also opens up about nanny life, mental health, dating questions, struggles, and what it really means to keep growing in Judaism.
Whether you’re a fellow Jewish newbie, curious about conversion, or just looking for some inspiration on connecting with Hashem, this episode is for you.
