Hello,
Still in the process, and wondering if anyone else is doing Daf Yomi, where we study a page a day of the Talmud to finish in a little over seven years. If this is the case, the following resources may be helpful: -
Kibbutz dati
After a number of years, I am finally working on planning my first trip to Israel. I have been considering doing a Kibbutz ulpan program and was curious if anyone here had experience with them, or similar programs?

conservative in Seattle
Anyone here in Seattle and converting Conservative? Is the only option really Beth Shalom? I've not been but I think I missed their class by like two months.
