I was thinking, while out in the Minnesota woods this week, of another reason I want to convert officially, and it hadn't struck me before.



If anything were to happen to me, there wouldn't be a rabbi to attend to me, I wouldn't have Jewish services, wouldn't be buried in a Jewish cemetery, and nobody would sit shul for me.



And that started to worry me.



Always in the hospital, I've chosen "No religious affiliation," but now it is important for me to have one.
