Judism in the Sticks

I'm not Jewish - yet. This will be a place to blog about my experience exploring Judaism in a small Midwestern city. There's a "Conserviform" synagogue here with about 30 families, but no rabbi, and the next nearest is 90 miles away.

I'm s single man in my 50's. I grew up on a farm in a predominantly Lutheran area, and was raised Presbyterian. I've long had an interest in Judaism, and took an Intro to Judaism class and began attending services a bit over a year ago.

I've occasionally posted about this on my Livejournal, and will be re-posting some of those here just to get things started
