Joanne's Conversion Dilemma

Joanne's potential conversion to Judaism remains a central conflict heading into season 2. While she initially agreed to convert out of love for Noah, Joanne ultimately realized she wasn't ready to make such a significant life change solely for their relationship

. This decision led to their breakup, highlighting the complex interplay between personal identity and romantic compromise. The upcoming season will likely explore whether Joanne reconsiders conversion for her own reasons, rather than just for Noah. Her journey may involve grappling with questions of faith, cultural identity, and how much of herself she's willing to change for love

. Meanwhile, Noah will face challenges from his family and community if he pursues a relationship with a non-Jewish partner, potentially jeopardizing his rabbinical career aspirations
