my local temple livestreams their Shabbat services over youtube each week, but there is a Zoom meeting you can join during and/or after to sort of like... be more concretely part of the congregation audience?

and i wanna start joining them, but i get Nervous bc i'm new and it's been holiday after holiday lately and i'm just learning about them all, so i feel like idk how to properly participate yet and should just watch. fkfjfk

i think i forgot to say here the other day, i had a meeting (on Zoom lol) with Rabbi M from a local temple i've been going to the online services off, and he's gonna mentor my studies now!!

we're gonna meet once a month to discuss my studies and any questions or concerns or new developments that come up.

and my classes begin just before the end of this month! i'm so excited. 8')
