Yesterday, I was able to not just witness, but actively take a part in the first Church service of my life. Throughout my time at St. Timothy, I have learned much and tried to share much as well. Whether that means going into religious classes and answering questions about Judaism, learning about the Episcopal Church and different tradition, or even trying to explain my prayer practice to faculty, I feel very comfortable in this space. This includes praying during the day, asking personal questions about other’s belief, and even becoming part of the service by reading from the torah. I have felt so warm and welcomed here, and have nothing but thanks to this community for being so genuinely curious and inclusive.

St. Timothy’s Day 2 Adi Solomon
Today was just as exciting as the last. Along with helping out with lower school and middle school recess, which was very fun and enjoyable, I also worked with Reverend Britany. I greatly enjoyed the time we spent seeing the church, learning out the episcopal traditions, and discussing my role in the upcoming chapel service. Funny enough, they are actually doing a unit on Judaism in school, and because of this, I will be bringing my tallit and tefillin into school tomorrow to show to the kids. This interfaith learning and experience is so beautiful and fun because we can all learn so much from each other.
