  1. There are actually 2 questions here - specifically if anyone has been through either of these.

    1. Trying to convert after a failed conversion. I gave up after a really negative experience, but have found that there's really nothing else I could be. I am considering trying this again.

    2. Converting with a mental illness. I have severe OCD. Initially, I thought this meant I would be a shotah, ineligible for conversion - but after speaking with a major halachic scholar in the US, I found out that OCD alone may not bar me from conversion.

    I know neither of these are par for the course in conversions - but has anyone else been there? Any words of wisdom?

  2. No advice . . . but a book to recommend: Devil In The Details: Scenes from an obsessive girlhood by Jennifer Traig. OCD and Orthodoxy -- funny and informative.
