Through the lens of the Netflix Series, "Nobody Wants This", a Journey of Conversion and Transformation

If a non-Jew (gentile) converted into Judaism, would they truly become a real, authentic Jew in the eyes of the Jewish people or would they be viewed as inauthentic?

The question above was posted on my Quora social media page.

Someone answered:

You’re Jewish. End of sentence. There will be people who will treat you differently. They are wrong and breaking Halacha. The official Jewish law in all Jewish movements is the Jews are Jews, whether by birth or by choice. All Jews are considered to have been at Mt Sinai when we received the Torah, including converts. There’s a school of thought that converts were Jewish in another life and have found their way home. And either way, the consensus is the ger (stranger, in an immigrant kind of way) has a Jewish Neshama (soul or life force or spirit). After the initial mazel tov, no one is supposed to ever mention that someone converted. And doing otherwise is super rude.

Of course, these rules are broken but please know that if you join us you become one of us. A conversion to Judaism is like an adoption or becoming a citizen of a new nation. Are there people who tell adopted children that their parents aren’t their “real” parents? Are there people who say new American citizens they aren’t “real Americans”? Absolutely yes to both questions and we all know that they are wrong to do so.

In the hit Netflix series *Nobody Wants This*, a story unfolds about a relationship between a rabbi and a gentile named Joanne. Joanne feels conflicted about converting to Judaism, but things take a turn when her mother receives a gift that makes her feel connected to the experience of being at Sinai for the giving of the Torah. Now, Joanne’s mother is deeply moved and feels strongly about converting to Judaism.

I answered the Quora question:

“Beautiful”-

My conversion to Judaism was more of a mystical journey. I didn’t do it for marriage, but to feel more in touch with my soul and, ultimately, closer to God.

There is a great saying, Jews who have converted, were Jewish in another life and found their way home. In the book, The Gate of Reincarnations, the great Kabbalist Rabbi Isaac Luria declared, "The souls of the Exodus generation shall again become incarnated."

I strongly feel that my soul is one of those from the Exodus generation! 

On Mount Sinai, Egypt ...

Are You Escaping Twin Flames?

I watched, Escaping Twin Flames on Prime and Netflix, and what I unequivocally know is this:

For the past 30 years, I believe in the true meaning of twin flames. Where one is on a spiritual path first and foremost and for them, a true spiritual partner is the ultimate companion.

I DO NOT BELIEVE IN THE RECENT FAD, BASTARDIZED VERSION!

ACTUALLY, IT DISGUSTS ME!!!-

Uninitiated people think this is a twin flame journey and are just making up their own rules, and terminology. -And naive people get manipulated to believe these so- called experts on Twin Flames.

I have said this before the term Twin Flames comes from Elizabeth Clare Prophet, who was a spiritual teacher, first and foremost. Go look up… how she came up with Twin Flames as opposed to Twin Souls…Go my friends!

Even if you go and start to read Elizabeth Clare Prophet, you are probably not going to understand her wisdom because you are on a Twin Flame journey, Not a spiritual journey! -So Good Luck my Friends!

Contrary to recent popular belief, both parties are deeply spiritual. There wouldn't be any point in reuniting if they did not come home to their own soul, and the infinite.

AND A VERY IMPORTANT, AND…Real Twin Flames understand their Soul Mates are just as profound and are in the same category as they are. Because if you are not consciously recognizing each other from the Supernal world, you are not soul mates. AS YOU PEOPLE SO CONFIDENTLY KNOW SOUL MATES AND TWIN FLAMES ARE NOT IN THE SAME CATEGORY!! - If you people were really recognizing each other from the Supernal world, you guys would know Soul Mates are just as profound as Twin Souls, if not more because you have spent many, many lives and beyond with those souls! - Good Luck!

XOXO, Serena Jade

Did You See The Stud Get His Balls Chopped Off In The Third Season Of Ozark?

I love Ozark, and in the third season Marty and Wendy, buy a Horse Farm for their drug lord, Omar Navarro. Mr. Navarro is in a war with one Stallion's owner. Mr. Navarro's retaliation-he is going to cut off the balls of his rival's stud. The horse can on longer make any money for his enemy.  

In real life, the fate of a racehorse's balls is determined by their temperament. Some colts are just too aggressive to keep their testicles, and the best decision is to cut them. Another decision is their bloodline is just not valuable to reproduce. Whatever the decision to cut them, they are now called geldings. 

Usually, the procedure is preformed with the horse standing under general anesthesia. When the Vet snips the balls, you definitely hear a crunch! The balls are then tossed on top of the barn for good luck. I have personally witnessed a couple of cuts in my life. 

Just thought you would like to know!
