I'd be happy to offer some information about what that means and how it usually unfolds, if that's helpful to you -- either here or via email/pm, whatever works.

Thank you for the offer! Luckily my roommate is a bat mitzvah, so she should be able to explain to me what it means. It is part of my heritage as well, so I should have some understanding of it. I'll send you a message via Dreamwidth perhaps in the next week, though, because written word is easier for me to refer back to.
