I am early 20s and am beginning my process of converting to Judaism. I sometimes worry that, in addition to being a convert, I will feel like an outsider in certain spaces due to a total lack of Jewish family, including future children and spouse. I do not wish to have kids and I don’t know what my dating life will look like, if I will ever have one. Truthfully, I see myself navigating the rest of my life as a single childless person. Do any other converts relate to this? Can anyone speak to their experiences celebrating Jewish holidays and living a Jewish life as a convert without children or a spouse? Sometimes I get sad thinking about spending holidays and shabbat by myself.
