I am dating someone who is shomer shabbos. He really wants me to become more religious, but it just doesn't feel organic to me. I like my Conservative upbringing and approach. Judaism is important to me, but I find Orthodoxy too restricting. We are both in our 30s and it is becoming more crucial to decide whether we could make a marriage work. Any advice?

Dear Rabbi, living in Germany, feeling the sense of sexism creeping up, I would like to post an online petition to the decision-makers. But how to explain what to petition! Mind the Word of G’d “I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake [my] love, till he please”, Sgs 2:7 and 3:5 How to transpose the indwelling commandment of G’d into the modern world of words to make a petition? Yours grate- and respectfully, Christoph Rebner

My mother died many years ago and I light a candle for her Yahrzeit each year. This year her Yahrzeit falls out on the day that I signed my will. Should I light a candle in her memory on this day?
