To change, to convert? Why bother?
In speaking of Jesus, I must speak about Christianity because I do not think it possible or profitable to divide the two.
Early on I saw the repression and idolatry of Stalinism, and when it cracked, I was open to religion again.
Jews are just like everyone else, only more so.
I recovered my infant Judaism, but in a reformist version.
I was certainly open for something being on the edge of a nervous breakdown, perplexed by my own sexuality. I was gay.
