Shoshana Lichtman: She Returned to Judaism. Then Discovered She Wasn't Jewish...
Inspiration for the Nation with Yaakov LangerShow Notes
Shoshana Lichtman grew up in a Conservadox Jewish home, but over time, she and her family drifted away from Judaism. Years later, Shoshana found her way back to Torah, becoming fully frum and embracing an Orthodox Jewish lifestyle.
Then she discovered something shocking: She wasn't actually Jewish.
After years of keeping Shabbos, learning Torah, and living a frum life, Shoshana learned she would need to undergo a halachic conversion to Judaism.

Ten years. Eleven IVF retrievals. Sixteen transfers. Six miscarriages. For a decade the answer was always no, and Tamar and Gidon Ben Tzvi never stopped holding on to each other and to Hashem. This is what waiting really looks like, and what it looks like when the wait finally ends.
What happens when you open your front door and just never close it? For over 40 years, Rabbi Mordechai Machlis and his late wife Henny hosted Shabbos in Jerusalem for anyone who walked in. No invitations. No RSVPs. Forty years of Shabbosim plus every Yom Tov adds up to well over half a million meals, served to everyone from homeless men to the Archbishop of Canterbury. This is the story of the most open house in Jerusalem.
