Of course I always appreciate everyone who\u00a0strikes up a conversation\u00a0on chat and\u00a0the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/home.php#!\/pages\/Project-Conversion\/168033533223699\">Facebook page<\/a>.\u00a0And hey James, good luck with your own conversion!<\/p>\n<p>This month went by way too fast folks, but I&#8217;ve come away with spectacular friends and wonderful lessons. Tonight is my last Shabbot and it begins at 7:41 pm Eastern Standard Time.
