Perle Deustch

Penina, converted in 2009.

I am a former Teacher and currently a stay-at-home mother of two young boys.

I am active in the Jewish community:  AIPAC; JNF, Magen David Adom.

Every step in my path felt equally important:  the decision, classes with Rabbi Haim; the Bet Din itself helped me reframe my past in a non-judgmental Jewish way.  Each step contributed to the whole--all matter.

I was surprised about how attached I feel to Israel.
