In this episode Leah talks about what it was like trying to get pregnant while dealing with PCOS.

Gerim series: a close friend

We explored topics such as how she knew I was converting, what the biggest differences are between then and now, how we are continuing our friendship in different settings and much more.

Gerim series: my complete story

7/28/2021
The gerim series is a series focused on the experiences of a ger tzedek. Why? Because I feel there are so many untold stories which include such wisdom and chizuk. The ger tzedek is someone who turned around their whole life in order to live a Torah observant life and, this is not to tap myself on the shoulder, I just felt that that needed some extra attention. I wasn’t actually planning on starting with my own story, but my friend, who will be featured in this series as well, told me that I should. I thought about it and it’s true, I’ve shared bits and pieces but I’ve never shared the complete story of how, when and why. So this is truly a premiere, and it so happened to be that it’s my own. Feel free to share this episode or podcast with your friends and family but please remember that this podcast is focused on ladies only.

An unusual episode: Een open dialoog over het Jodendom

5/26/2021
Ik ben uitgenodigd geweest om te komen spreken over het Jodendom voor een groep hogeschoolstudenten in de lerarenopleiding. Ze hebben zelf eerst een presentatie gegeven over zaken die ze hadden opgezocht. Daarop heb ik mijn bedenkingen gegeven. Vervolgens hebben ze me allerlei vragen gesteld, die zijn open getrokken naar een open dialoog over het Jodendom. Nog enkele zaken die ik wou toevoegen zijn: - bij een Bar/Bat Mitsva kiezen de jongeren zelf voor de Torah en het Jodendom te accepteren. Ze bereiden zichzelf hier al op voor vanaf het moment dat ze kunnen spreken + het is een feest waar zij echt in de bloemetjes worden gezet & is een hele eer voor hen om dit te ervaren. // This episode is a bit unusual for Love Leah. Firstly, it's in Dutch and I usually make my episodes in English. However, I was asked to come speak about Judaism for college students, who are studying to become ethic teachers. I live in Antwerp, so the entire dialogue is in Dutch. I might still do a follow-up episode on my personal experiences of it, in English, somewhere in the near future.
