If You Could Choose

Before my wife had her conversion roughly a year and a half ago, the Beis Din, had me go into the mikvah to have a conversion to remove all doubts.   My great, great grandmother was born a non-Jew and adopted by a Jewish family as an infant and we wanted to remove any uncertainty on whether she was properly converted.  For this conversion to remove all doubts to be effective, I had to contemplate that I was not a Jew and make the choice to remain a non-Jew or become a Jew.  This was one of the most profound and important days of my life.  In this episode I compare and contrast what those two paths look like and ask you the listener to contemplate being in a similar situation where you could choose.
