How does one make sense of this journey? What were the spiritual pushes and pulls along the way that could explain this radical metamorphosis? When African-American Delores Gray says she feels she was present at Mount Sinai and was one of the original Jews to receive the 613 mitzvos (commandments), her Christian friends are bewildered. Originally a born-again Christian who was first licensed as a minister at the Strait-Way house of Worship in Los Angeles and ordained as a minister at the international assemblies of God in San Diego, Delores now prays in Hebrew three times a day, keeps kosher and lives in Bayit Vegan, an Orthodox Jewish neighborhood in Jerusalem. Ostracized by many of her born-again Christian friends, denounced by others for "trafficking with the devil," Delores has not wavered from her course. Once a nonbeliever, as her mother described Delores as a young girl, today her life is informed and affected on the most intimate level by her belief in the Creator. She prays daily for vision and clarity, as a Jew to perform God's will The first time Delores visited Jerusalem, she knew instantaneously that it would become her home, and that she would leave everyone and everything behind if necessary to fulfill that vision. How could a person so sheltered by family and friends take such a perilous step that would cut her off forever from her roots? How could she abandon her religious heritage and her home-land? Unlike Ruth of the Bible, Delores had no Naomi to cling to, no Naomi to lead the way as she changed her home, her people, and her God. What she did have was her God and the people he provided for her - strangers who became her guides, her friends and ultimately her new family. "Journey to the land of my soul," is the story of Delores's amazing journey to Zion, a journey full of thorns and nettles; a story that ultimately transformed Delores to Ahuvah, a daughter of Israel. Ahuvah Gray has been privileged to live in Israel for sixteen years. She is a renowned international lecturer and authoress. Ruth Broyde-Sharone Journalist, Documentary Filmmaker, Interior Decorator
