[Dr. Stuart Davis, Rabbi]

It was with both sadness and pride that read of Hannah's journey.  Sad that she and her husband had not taken the opportunity to come to terms with the practice of their individual religions in their home before marriage.  Nor, did I detect any counsel or influence from Hannah's parents or rabbi if she had one.  I felt sadness also because of her feelings of disconnect from her self - a disenfranchisement - but at the same time pride for her that she now seems to be taking a new path toward the practice of Judaism and fulfilling herself.  I hope that they will seek the help of Interfaith Fam. as well as a rabbi to help them to have a family of joint spiritual peace and happiness.
