In this heartfelt episode, I chat with Jack and Tair from Melbourne, Australia—an inspiring couple whose love story began in the most unexpected way: as lockdown roommates! Now, Jack is on a powerful path toward converting to Judaism, and their journey together is nothing short of remarkable.
We talk about:
🏡 How a global pandemic turned two strangers into partners
🕊 Jack’s spiritual awakening and what led him to pursue Judaism
🤝 The support and connection they’ve built through shared religious growth
🛡 The challenges Jack faces as a convert—including anti-Semitism—and how community gives him strength
This episode is all about love, identity, and finding where you truly belong.
