Discovering My Star: How Love Revealed my Jewish Soul (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

In "Discovering My Star: How Love Revealed My Jewish Soul," we are led through the winding paths of love, spirituality, and self-discovery. Anastasia, a spirited Russian girl, had always sensed an undefined void within her soul. It wasn't until she crossed paths with Ezra, a Jewish man of traditional orthodox roots but non-religious outlook, that she found a deep, resounding connection with Judaism. Her newfound affinity for Judaism wasn't solely inspired by her love for Ezra. It echoed within her, filling a spiritual void, completing her in a way she had never experienced before. The realization was profound: her connection to Judaism was independent of her relationship, her spiritual awakening transcending the bonds of romance. Embracing the intricate journey of Orthodox conversion, Anastasia found herself at the precipice of a challenging decision. To further her journey, she needed to join a Jewish community and make known her intentions to the rabbi. She stood at a crossroads - would she reveal her relationship with Ezra, thus necessitating his participation in her conversion process, or withhold the truth, compromising her newfound faith? "Discovering My Star" goes beyond a story of conversion. It's an exploration of love, truth, and the daunting choices one has to make in the journey of self-discovery and spiritual fulfillment. As Anastasia delves deeper into the layers of Judaism, she also unveils hidden layers within herself, encountering dilemmas and delights she had never anticipated. It's a testament to the power of faith and the lengths one can go when the soul finds its true home.

Autor

Marina Ivakhnenko, also known by her Hebrew name "Meira," meaning "one who illuminates," is a writer, seeker, and spiritual sojourner. A native of a diverse cultural background, Marina's journey into Judaism wasn't just a change of faith but a transformation of soul. She navigated the intricate pathways of tradition, ritual, and community, much like her characters, Anastasia and Ezra, in her debut novel.

Marina chose the name "Meira" not merely as a rite of passage but as a promise to herself and her readersto be a light,illuminating the complexities of human emotion, spirituality, and love through her words. In Hebrew, "Meira" resonateswith the word "Or," meaning light, and it's no coincidence that her work aims to shed light on the intricacies ofrelationships, self-discovery, and spiritual growth.

Falling in love served as the catalyst for her own religious conversion, providing her with a unique lens through which she explores the concept of love as not merely an emotion but as a transformative power. Her writing is a celebration of this transformative powerthe ability of love to lead us back to our truest selves and help us discover parts of us we never knew existed.

Through her writing, Marina aims to engage readers in conversations about identity, faith, and the kinds of love that transcend time. She believes in the redemptive power of storytelling and sees it as her mission to explore life's complexities through the art of the written word.
