Discussed a few of my impressions on p1-156 of Jewish Literacy by Rabbi Joseph Telushkin which she gave me as a reference. (I will add my thoughts on this later)
She gave described
"Torah, avodah and gemilut chassidim"
I found the citation (pirkei avot 1:2)
Shimon the Righteous was among the last surviving members of the Great assembly. He would say: The world stands on three things: Torah, the service of G-d, and deeds of kindness.
We discussed some of my reasons for coming to Synagogue. I could only say that it was for the love of the people, because I want to live a life with G*d at its center, because I didn't know before april that there was a difference between conservative and orthodox Judiasm.
She gave me two assigments for essay and reflection. One on my idea of G*d and the other on my goals.
It made me very happy. I pray I will be able to thrive and that my study also teach her. That both of us can contribute to the Synagogue, community, and the world.
Thank you G*d for this opportuinty and for her kindness and wisdom.
