Seeking: A Spiritual Mentor
I think I might start actively looking for a spiritual mentor to help me on my conversion path. As sad as it is to say the only Jews I currently, personally know aren't terribly supportive or helpful. They're all reform Jews and think I'm a little crazy for exploring Judaism down the Conservative path. Beyond that they're all self-described "RH &YK Jews" meaning they really only outwardly observe Jewish rituals on the high holidays and by keeping a very, very loose definition of kosher (mostly no pork). I can and do ask them questions but just as often as not they don't know the answers because they just aren't terribly observant. The rabbi is great but I there are some questions I'm not yet comfortable asking him and there are some that I'd like more than one perspective on.
I wonder if you can put an ad on Craig's List asking for a semi-observant Conservative Jew to be a mentor to someone in the conversion process?
