My husband and I had a kosher conversion 19 years ago. We made Aliyah almost 8 years ago and moved to the north of Israel (7 miles from the Lebanon border) We love our life! Becoming a part of the Jewish nation has had, and has many challenges for us due to the threat from the North. However, becoming a part of the Jewish nation is the greatest accomplishment of my life and the greatest honor and privilege. After October 7 friends and family asked us if we are coming back to America. We'll never leave. We're not going anywhere. Our fate is with the Jewish people.
Converting to me is just coming back home. As a marano whose family assimilated in order to stay alive brings so much joy to my life . Best decision I ever made
I bear a sefardic surname also and am now investigating about it and judaism. I'm feeling a call but just don't lnow what to do. Currently I'm reading books and articles, I listen to videos and I'm beginning with the hebrew alefbet. I have a Siddur for the woman and practice some Basic prayers. The past weekend I tried to keep the spirit of Shabbat and it was great: rest, family life and no youtube videos at all. Really soothing. I love the spirit with which jews celebrate! It speaks to me. Any advice is welcome.
@ I have both kinds 50 km away from home. Difficult for now. But I will proceed with baby steps, I know it's not that easy. Reading, learning, feeling, thinking. If it's too complicated, I could at least become a Noahide.
It’s because of Rabbi Tovia Singer that my family & I are converting. We just finished moving closer to our synagogue. We put our children in a Jewish school & I also work at the school. We absolutely love it! BH I finally feel at home
@@tgr5772 G’d is the center of our lives! The first thing we do in the morning, even before we get out of bed, we thank Him. All day long, we thank G’d and praise Him for even the tiniest thing. The men pray for hours most days (ideally, every day); we ladies pray as much as we can manage, but we usually cannot pray as much as the men when we have children and with the duties of running a Kosher home, which is, itself, a service to G’d. Studying the Torah is all about learning of G’d and how He wishes us to live. Praying Psalms and reading the Proverbs are very important to me personally. Of course, when we aren’t praising and thanking G’d and studying His Torah, we are doing acts of lovingkindness to our fellow humans.
I felt lost when I left xtianity. I wasn’t a Jew, I wasn’t a xtian, I was nothing. Even being Noachide seemed like an easy cop out. All the benefits, none of the work. I came to understand the joy of being Noachide. As Rabbi said, the whole Messianic age is about making Noachides out of idolaters and atheists. I regularly attend a Shul, I learn from rabbis, I am learning Hebrew. I love my new life and I am so grateful to HaShem.
If there is no archeological evidence that Abraham, Noah, Moses, David or Solomon existed does this affect your outlook on your cultural or ethnic identity?
That was a very clear picture of a an Orthodox Jewish conversion. What you covered in 39 minutes took me 5 or 6 years to figure out. Thank you so much Rabbi Tovia. I like the positive energy that comes from you.
there is no such thing is orthodox jewish or orthodox islam. what kind of orthodox is that? orthoox church started off in 3rd century byzantine greek rite, all the scirptures were developed after 1st century, they don't accepte torah.
This is such a great message to get out as their is so much false information out there on conversion or lack of it. Thank you, Rabbi Singer. May HaShem continue blessing you in good health, wisdom, and endurance to speading His word of truth.
Rabbi Singer, this is amazing advice. Thank you so much, Shabbat Shalom to you and your family and may HaShem continue to bless and keep you and all of Israel safe. -Ahuvah
Since i have became a "Noahide" i have stopped eating all the things that God said not to eat which are filthy! I read the Tanakh everyday and when im done im starting all over again! Im so blessed to be woken up i hope many others from Christianity will do the same and come home to truth and our only ONE God of Israel! Rabbi Tovia still stands undefeated holding his light for us all to find our way! Thank you so much for changing my life! May HaShem keep blessing you and your father 🕎✡️
@@hrvatskinoahid1048 Interesting, what practical benefit are be gained? I am no expert and thought that NonJews couldn't benefit from following Jewish commandments....
@@bigtomboye If a person wishes to restrict himself from eating meat from an unslaughtered carcass for the purpose of guarding his health, or from eating any pork or shellfish or any other food if he is disgusted by it (or for medical benefits), this is permitted. For Gentiles, the intention is the key.
Love this. Have had an intense curiosity about Judaism for the last 7 years. Rabbi Singer’s videos are like a fresh breath of air since finding out about him about 4 months ago. Very grateful for the work he does. God bless him & all of Israel!
I'm Jamaican and I want to convert Judaism. I Walked out of SDA Church in 2017 and I need know the truth and nothing but truth...blessings always to you and your family.
Do you still live in Jamaica? I live in the West Indies and I have left Christianity too, and become a Noahide. I've been wondering if they’re others in the West Indies like me. People here are immersed in Christianity and that's all they know.
Rabbi Singer. I had appreciation for you and your scholarship for a long time. But today, I have even more appreciation for you and your kindness of taking the time to explain so throughly the conversion process and nuances. THANK YOU. 🙏😊
Slalom bro how you convert to judaism you khnow easy Jewish comunity who accept easy convert to judaism is conservative od hasidic od reforme od karaite comunity where easy convert
Teenagers are a problem?? Oh wow, I walked into a shul when I was seventeen after figuring out that the Torah is true and the Jewish people are the am Nivchar. Well, I noticed. People were not friendly (except for one chap who actually helped me throughout the service). People almost but ignored me. But from that first Shabbos on, I went faithfully to shul and slowely but surely people became more convinced that it was not a passing phase. But it was hard!! I felt like a pariah, a nobody. HaKodesh Boruch Hu gave a tremendous strength! Four years later I finally made it to the Mikveh, I was already in Israel then. But it was absolute hardship. Not being able have Jewish friends (when I was in Europe) because I was not like them, and not being able to have non-Jewish friends (the differences became to big). Now I am already Jewish for 23 years and never for a moment regretted it. Life is not easy, but it is fulfilling. Boruch Hashem. Shanah Toivah u Metukah to everyone!
You are a true hero. I cannot express what an amazing thing you have done. I am sorry that people were not more receptive. Every place is different. I hope you find the right one for you.
By now I have found the right place. I already have 8 children of which two are ר"ל OTD. We all try to serve Hashem Yisborach in the ultimate way that we can. May He give us Hatzlachah in that in the coming year Habo aleynu leToivah omen.
Thank you, Rabbi, for the wonderful message. I come from a hindu background and converted to xtianity and about 5 years ago, I was exposed to Judaism and Torah. I left xtianity.Since then, I have been learning the Torah and been observing the jewish holidays and am trying to rest on Shabbat to learn the Torah and follow the Rabbis teachings. You have been an inspiration to me for a long time. I love your teachings, and your knowledge of the New Testament is really amazing. You remember them by heart and am able to explain everything in detail. May Hashem bless your dad with speedy recovery and wish you a healthy life and Shalom. May Hashem keep you and yours. B'H. ❤
Thank you Rabbi, the best I feel is to enact chesed and kindness, assisting Torah scholars and Am Yisrael. Bless Hashem for your soul

Thank you Rav. This is an amazing first-hand source of information regarding the process. May my family and I be blessed with joining the nation and faith of Israel.
Toda Rabbi Baruch Hashem, This is awesome for sharing such insightful, informative, engaging process of Judaism ✡️ conversion as a former Christian, I m still praying to G- d of Israel. Yom Tov
Thank you so much Rabbi, for explaining all of these things. There are way more people out there than you can imagine who long to convert. For the sincere, I see the biggest obstacle is finding a Jewish community and a home within walking distance of a synagogue. Affordability is a factor there since it means finding employment in the area too.
I Could not read the new testament for 3 years now. When I became a Christian in 1983, I fell in love with the bible. I began reading thru every year. I fell in love with God almighty. I appreciated that through christianity I fell in love with my Heavenly Father. I went to church regularly and when I got baptized with the Holy Spirit a hot heat went through me and a shalom hit me that I didn't want to ever lose. I prayed to never lose that. I never knew what real pace was. I was always attracted to Jewish people and had a friend that told me I could ask a rabbi three times he would show me how to convert. Anyway, I have always prayed to your God to be taught how to keep all His feasts. I had to wait till my husband came into this faith. Christianity never worked for him. I started reading the Tanakh through last year and this is what I do daily. I I love Ez 20 that says He will bring us into the wilderness and contend with us there. Separate the rebellious from the ones that truly love Him. Only those will go into His land and there He will receive our offerings. Right now I am in Leviticus, 1 Samuel, and Psalms. I read 2 chapters of the Torah, 2 of the Prophets and 2 of the writings. Leviticus . I kept the Feast of the Tabernacle a few years ago with my son, cause he loves Hashem the way I do. We have longing to go and live in Israel. The last day of sleeping out side inn a tent. The llast day was unforgettable. We woke up in the morning and there was a shalom and peace all over North Hollywood, CA, my daughter in law was late for work. My son and I took her too school my grand daughter. There were noo cars anywhere. This is before covid. The haze or mist was every. I believe when you take the time to honor Him by keeping one or every feast like we should. You get to see His glory. I just finished reading where Aaron and his sons were separated and dedicated to Hashem. Then after the week dedication. They offered up the offering the next day like Moses told Aaron to. Moses had spoke to the people what was about to happen the day before that they would see Hashems glory. When they did they fell on their face and sang to Him. My mother took the time too do a genealogy she said that my father lineage was Levite. It didn't mean anything to me till I was baptized with the Holy Spirit. It was the old testament that made me fall in love with Elohim. I always apologized to Him about the sacrament. I will continue praying to the God of Israel.
As a college student considering conversion, I needed to hear this. First thing Monday I'll ask my Jewish classmate if I may join her to attend the Synagogue next Shabbat
Thank you very much, Rabbi, for this lecture. It truly cleared a path for me. The main point I took away is that I should talk to God, and this feels incredibly meaningful. It’s guiding me on my journey to becoming a full member of the Jewish community.
Thank you Rabbi Tovia. I think it would be amazing to convert. Today I am just happy to be free of Christianity and all of its tenant ritual, idolatry and heresy.
I am from Mexico! But Hashem lead me to adopt the Jewish beliefs and to be adopted by Hashem himself as her daughter through the Torá (Tanach) Sidur ( Shabath in Fridays and Saturday services and Cabala studies) all day week’s Zohar reading, scanning Hebrew’s letters and studying Jumash week parashat! All this transformed my life to be righteous Jewish! I love my Eterno creator, Hashem my father of mercy! I requested my Jewish name and Rabby Paula Feldstein in Washington heights directed me in a ceremony to get my Jewish name: Margalit! I feel privileged for what Hashem did! I always thank for whatever I received from my Jewish family through the memebers that respect and accept my friendship through the Hashem’s people! I feel Jewish and I am sure Hashem knows me and hugs me every day with care and infinity love! Thank you Abba because I only need you! And you are here for me! ❤
Thank you rabbi. I am beginning my journey. Thank you for testing the will of those of us who truly are seeking gods wisdom. I know and embrace the punishment of proving my faith in god. Thank you for cliffs notes version so that true believers like me can seek a true righteous path. You dont know me, but i will find you to thank you once i make my conversion. Vaya con dios rabbi. Amd thank you for empowering me with your knowledge. Peace be onto you and your family.
Straight to the heart❤ Thank you!! Truest line in the video, “Your Rabbi is there to slow you down”. HaShem’s got that job too. He’s helping the Rabbis out. He’s got your back! lol
Thank you, Rabbi Singer, for this topic. I once asked the question "why do Jews not accept Jesus as the Messiah" and your video that answered this question popped up. As I watched then read I was released from the slavery of Xtianity. Right away I wanted to 'convert' to the faith and the nation because I was in a state of euphoria in my newly discovered freedom, instead I have spent the past few years listening to online Rabbi teach and speak, including you of course, and came to understand that I don't NEED to convert that it's just fine for me to stay a Noach and I can still learn what Hashem wants of me as one of his creations... leading me to make a choice, with free will, to follow the 7 laws of the covenant of Noah... you are helping so many people turn toward Hashem and away from idolatry. If I live long enough I may consider conversion, which requires me to move from my home, and I'm an age what makes this difficult but who knows what HE has in store... for now I learn and walk in freedom from xitanity/idolatry.
Shalom Rabbi Tovia Singer and Thank you for such insightful lecture. For my 1st.time I will be visiting tomorrow for Shabbat the oldest Orthodox Synagogue in the city. BARUCH HASHEM. Thank you
Shalom, I'm an American from Texas who lives in Eastern Mindanao... My wife and I are searching for an assembly of the Jewish faith that is not messianic... does anyone know of such an assembly?
Beautiful background, watching the sunset in the super clean square of your taping. Must admit, first time I heard anyone speaking of conversion to Judaism publicly. I could see/hear the spirit in your tone and radiant face,confirming your beliefs.I think Rabbi, this approach is more noble than bashing others. That is conversion. Let people feel what you feel.
Todah Rabbi Singer! I decided to attend Temple before converting and I started attending Temple back in January of this year. I stopped practicing Roman Catholicism back in early November of last year. I will be attending my seventh Introduction to Judaism class and I love it and I have also studied the Hebrew alphabet and now I am studying Hebrew words and grammar. I am more at peace than I have ever been since I left the Catholic faith. There's a lot of deception in the Catholic faith. GOD is not first with Catholics unless you put Jesus and Mary In there then then GOD exists.
I can’t wait to watch this! I’ve often wondered if I should convert. Needless to say, I wish I was more connected to the community. I don’t know how to achieve the same sense of community as before, especially in these rough times.
Just because you want to convert doesn’t mean you will be able to. The beit din has to approve your application. My application was denied with a “it’s final”. I believe final means done. So doesn’t matter how much I want to convert and reside in Israel. I’m not allowed.
Jews are judged harshest on Judgment Day, a prime reason for discouragement of conversion: it's especially hard training for an adult as opposed to a kid, just like Jedi 🌌 God seems to want a miniscule number of Jews ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Serms to be a part of His Experiment here on Earth🌎🌌 God is happy if we believe in and respect Judaism and Jews, follow the moral philosophies of the Torah, and leave the religious rules to the Jews But bro if you feel a calling then you feel a calling📞 Many happy happy converts have no regrets 🇮🇱
@@dailysmelly9756 no explanation given by the beit din. And I don’t have baggage, mental illness, big sins, idol worship, & not converting for marriage. It’s just me thats converting. I have no spouse or children. So I don’t understand why they said “it’s final”. This is definitely a question I will ask Hashem when I’m in the next life.
I was thinking about converting to Judaism but after listening to you Rabbi I had to rethink because of the long process and I'm 69 and don't have to many years left. Also I don't live in a Jewish community. None the less i still follow your lectures here on UA-cam. I have learned a lot from you and thank you. I gave up Christianity over 30 years ago and feel a longing for the Jewish teaching. I find it to be true.
My both parents left the christian church before I was born. Jews taught us who God really is and we learnt how to perform prayer for Israel, communal living, having 1 day of rest a week, building and sharing wealth during a crisis. The Netherlands is becoming a very sensitive and knowledgable country, that's a blessing in itself. If you are not scared of sin and you are embracing godliness miracles will happen. Now I am hoping He will grant me aliyah. But I know His plan is good and the world will respect his country again. The world is full of mystery and faith even as we are entering the scientific era, it doesn't change a thing.
If there is no archeological evidence that Abraham, Noah, Moses, David or Solomon existed does this affect your outlook on your cultural or ethnic identity?
I am so glad you are talking about this! I converted in 2004. I would myself council non Jews to reconsider. They have no idea what they would be truly under taking!
I tell my conversion candidates, "What do you need this for? It's very difficult. You can't eat all those nice foods at a hotel breakfast, there's no electronics every Shabbat and sometimes you have 3-days in a row with no telephone or any electronics. What do you need this for when you're fine as a righteous gentile?" Also you will be viewed as strange by your own family, not to mention the social and work-life challenges. It sounds like you found that out over time.
😂 I did everything the Rabbi said not to do. I called, told the Synagogue I was coming, showed up, was checked by security, and told the security guard I was there to convert. They were nice and let me go there for a while. I moved within walking distance but I think they were worried I was one of those undercover Christians and since I'm a single woman, that made things worse. People stopped talking to me and I felt alone. I still live in the Jewish community but do all my study online. If I can find a husband willing to convert with me, I might fit in better. Not so easy to do. If I'm meant to convert, Moshiach won't come until I'm finished. If my conversion is not necessary for G-d's plan, I won't convert. Thanks for sharing the advice Rabbi. To anyone else in America, I started attending shul prior to October 7th and security was heavy (big armed guards with desert eagles). No doubt it is heavier now. Don't wear layers and don't bring your purse.
@@user-ln5il4un3xlots of life a challenge, you msy be a Noahide. I have done so, married with family, yet humans are human, I have Seen Abba of shabbats, Abba of Fatherless 5 generations is by seat on His shoulders., be strong, have faith, I seen rain and end of work days on mini garden of Eden. So even if Israel fails sometimes you can and do know Abba is the Everlasting Father of Shabbat. No other God or savior.
Wow, I'm sorry it has been this difficult for you. I am Jewish from birth, so I have not directly experienced conversion, although my best friend growing up was a son of converts in a community that practically does not accept converts. In the end, the aim of a Jew is still accessible to you: serving G-d while He is hidden from you is actually the only way to learn to truly serve G-d. It is the same challenge for me. If you do what is right, everything will be truly be good. Don't worry.
@Amhanetsach All the other people I know who tried converting went back to Jesus. Which makes me think they probably weren't good candidates for conversion. My mind is prone to wander towards Atheism. I just can't believe that a man was sealed behind a tomb by Romans and those very same Romans didn't just move the body. And then all the people thinking they saw a totally different man. That just looks like an elaborate ruse by Rome to cause division amongst the Jewish people, and then it got out of hand when Constantine converted and Christianity took over the Roman Empire.
How is it possible that I lived among jewish friends for 17 years, loving them, them loving me, and NEVER the conversation came up of giving me an opportunity to express all my feelings and questions. My jewish friends were lovely, but very very private in their faith. I felt that asking could be intrusive or offensive bc they were very private. Now Im 60 and have to find where I can get Jewish instructions to start my process to Judaism. I moved to Lake County in Florida and there is no Jewish synagogue. Im so sad of not knowing that I needed to buy a house close to a synagogue.😭😭. But, adding all things inconveniences, I cannot turn back. Once you see the lies I was taught in Christianity, you can’t unsee it
@@GolfnMoreclips The lie that Jesus never sinned. Jesus sinned and did not repent. Jesus also taught contrary to the Torah on dozens of occasions and added at least one prohibition to the Torah. If you worship Jesus, you worship, at best, an extremely flawed man.

I am Italian and half Mizrahi ( urfa where avram has bornt ) and want to convert to Judaism since many years now i live in Turkey and cuz of todays situation and cuz of history Jews of Turkey dont do conversion cuz they promised to Ottomans. I talked with my friends from Israel and Italian Jews i continue to study soon i will. For conversion i ll go to Israel or to Italy. So impossible is nothing, if you REALLY want. 🕎🇮🇱✡️
Don't listen to that character. You don't apply to any beit din. Your sponsoring Rabbi decides which beit din once he determines your readiness... which in itself will take a long time because he has to actually get to know you, the person you truly are, and how you handle decision making and to just basically know your character. Keep going 💪 ✨️ 👌 👏 💓 👍
@@GentilesAgainstMessiah sincerely repent & keep the laws given to all of mankind known as the noahide laws and you will be righteous. Read the book of Jonah and see the non Jews were forgiven after they repented. Human blood sacrifice is called an abomination in the tanakh. No one can die for anyone’s sins. And only a narcissist is ok with an innocent dying for their sins.
Very interesting! I've been surrounded by Christians my whole life, and what your describing is ... quite different. This is a topic I've been curious about, but this point of view has never occurred to me.
Comment on the last few points that were made about people who have Jewish roots who do not think they're Jewish. When I went to school (secular public school) during the '60s, this was only a few decades away from the European horrors of the '40s. Many of my schoolmates had Jewish surnames. A good number of them had no idea that they were Jewish, and their parents actually did not want them to know they were Jewish. There's more to that story. When my schoolmates with the Jewish names saw my eating matzah during certain times of the year, or not being at school during certain times of the year, and hearing my explanations regarding that; and my inquiring if they were Jewish, the discussion got to the point which, several of the parents of these schoolmates came to me and to my parents, insisting that I not talk to these schoolmates about anything Jewish. It was a strange, and bizarre for me as a pre-teen to experience this as well as distressing for me to see how these parents thought they were raising their children in such a manner. They were clearly terrified and it was very clear that they thought they were only doing what was best for their children. A few of them just moved out of the neighborhood eventually. The point is, out of dread, many folks who are completely Jewish are running around without any notion about their nation, about their identities. Thanks for the content. Keep up the good work. בס'ד
I am an adult who grew up without any religion outside of the culturally Christian things expected of Americans (Halloween and Christmas being good examples of this) who wants to convert, however I have zero local synagogue. I wish to move closer to a jewish community, physically, before I even begin to ask about becoming a conversion student for real.
@glenanleitner2606 it doesn't seem to be God's wish at all that everyone convert; actually it seems God wants a tiny small number of Jews in a world of Non-Jews ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@bigtomboye you right don't have to convert My comment did not say that But without conversation you are not one of the chosen But still have a relationship with G-D
Start with Teshuva, then a Mitzvah, but when you're doing this start respecting Shabbath, and learn Torah. Specially during Shabbath. Don't convert yet, just live it for a couple of years.
Rabbi Singer - I enjoyed your "Lets Get Biblical" series. Since you get thousands of questions regarding this, have you considered writing a book about the expectations of Jews in Israel v Jews outside of Israel, and Gentiles in Israel v Gentiles outside of Israel, and the benefit of Gentile conversion vs things to consider.. etc.?
Isaiah 56:6 "Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant; 56:7 Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer"
I was born Jewish in the United States- We were ashkenazi conservative Jews and we didn’t keep kosher. It was a choice. My synagogue was conservative and our Rabbi David Artz is a conservative Rabbi. My brothers were bar mitzvahed They never Bat Mitzvahed girls in the. 1950’s because they felt it was for boys. However we had a wonderful group and we were close like family. I know all the rules in Judaism. We celebrated all the holidays. And went to temple every Friday before Sundown. Do you consider conservative Jews not real Jews because we are not ORTHODOX?
My thoughts exactly. In my Conservative synagogue, the actively participating membership is at least 1/4 converts. I had months of study, a Bet Din, and was in a mikvah. Hashem knows I am Jewish.
I plan on converting to Judaism at some point in my life. I do have patrilineal Jewish ancestry so that's one reason; another reason is that it's always been the one religion I felt has spoken to me. The closest synagogue to my house that isn't messianic is 40 minutes away from me, though.
he synagogue to me is probably 500 miles. There's not one Orthodox synagogue in my entire state. I live in South Dakota home to the lease percentage of the least amount of Jews in the United States just my luck! I have to move to convert but moving is expensive. I'm hoping I can move in the spring.
My husband and I had a kosher conversion 19 years ago. We made Aliyah almost 8 years ago and moved to the north of Israel (7 miles from the Lebanon border) We love our life! Becoming a part of the Jewish nation has had, and has many challenges for us due to the threat from the North. However, becoming a part of the Jewish nation is the greatest accomplishment of my life and the greatest honor and privilege. After October 7 friends and family asked us if we are coming back to America. We'll never leave. We're not going anywhere. Our fate is with the Jewish people.

there is no such thing is orthodox jewish or orthodox islam. what kind of orthodox is that? orthoox church started off in 3rd century byzantine greek rite, all the scirptures were developed after 1st century, they don't accepte torah.
Thank you Rabbi. I can't wait to watch!
This is such a great message to get out as their is so much false information out there on conversion or lack of it. Thank you, Rabbi Singer. May HaShem continue blessing you in good health, wisdom, and endurance to speading His word of truth.

Just as יהודה יש קריות fulfilled the purposes of Jesus King Messiah, so doubtless does Rabbi Tovia Singer.
Thank you Rabbi , your love shines bright.
Since i have became a "Noahide" i have stopped eating all the things that God said not to eat which are filthy! I read the Tanakh everyday and when im done im starting all over again! Im so blessed to be woken up i hope many others from Christianity will do the same and come home to truth and our only ONE God of Israel! Rabbi Tovia still stands undefeated holding his light for us all to find our way! Thank you so much for changing my life! May HaShem keep blessing you and your father 🕎✡️
Amen!🙌

That is fine if your intention is to receive a practical benefit.
@@hrvatskinoahid1048 Interesting, what practical benefit are be gained? I am no expert and thought that NonJews couldn't benefit from following Jewish commandments....
@@bigtomboye If a person wishes to restrict himself from eating meat from an unslaughtered carcass for the purpose of guarding his health, or from eating any pork or shellfish or any other food if he is disgusted by it (or for medical benefits), this is permitted. For Gentiles, the intention is the key.
Love this. Have had an intense curiosity about Judaism for the last 7 years. Rabbi Singer’s videos are like a fresh breath of air since finding out about him about 4 months ago. Very grateful for the work he does. God bless him & all of Israel!
I'm Jamaican and I want to convert Judaism. I Walked out of SDA Church in 2017 and I need know the truth and nothing but truth...blessings always to you and your family.
Do you still live in Jamaica? I live in the West Indies and I have left Christianity too, and become a Noahide. I've been wondering if they’re others in the West Indies like me. People here are immersed in Christianity and that's all they know.
Rabbi Singer. I had appreciation for you and your scholarship for a long time. But today, I have even more appreciation for you and your kindness of taking the time to explain so throughly the conversion process and nuances. THANK YOU. 🙏😊
Absolutely brilliant! I am in the process of converting in London and found this very interesting and reassuring. Baruch HaShem!

Thank you! Shabbat shalom ~
Teenagers are a problem?? Oh wow, I walked into a shul when I was seventeen after figuring out that the Torah is true and the Jewish people are the am Nivchar. Well, I noticed. People were not friendly (except for one chap who actually helped me throughout the service). People almost but ignored me. But from that first Shabbos on, I went faithfully to shul and slowely but surely people became more convinced that it was not a passing phase. But it was hard!! I felt like a pariah, a nobody. HaKodesh Boruch Hu gave a tremendous strength! Four years later I finally made it to the Mikveh, I was already in Israel then. But it was absolute hardship. Not being able have Jewish friends (when I was in Europe) because I was not like them, and not being able to have non-Jewish friends (the differences became to big). Now I am already Jewish for 23 years and never for a moment regretted it. Life is not easy, but it is fulfilling. Boruch Hashem. Shanah Toivah u Metukah to everyone!
You are a true hero. I cannot express what an amazing thing you have done. I am sorry that people were not more receptive. Every place is different. I hope you find the right one for you.
By now I have found the right place. I already have 8 children of which two are ר"ל OTD. We all try to serve Hashem Yisborach in the ultimate way that we can. May He give us Hatzlachah in that in the coming year Habo aleynu leToivah omen.

Thank you, Rabbi, for the wonderful message. I come from a hindu background and converted to xtianity and about 5 years ago, I was exposed to Judaism and Torah. I left xtianity.Since then, I have been learning the Torah and been observing the jewish holidays and am trying to rest on Shabbat to learn the Torah and follow the Rabbis teachings. You have been an inspiration to me for a long time. I love your teachings, and your knowledge of the New Testament is really amazing. You remember them by heart and am able to explain everything in detail. May Hashem bless your dad with speedy recovery and wish you a healthy life and Shalom. May Hashem keep you and yours. B'H. ❤
Thank you Rabbi Tovia,
This is very insightful and very informative.
Thank you Rabbi, the best I feel is to enact chesed and kindness, assisting Torah scholars and Am Yisrael. Bless Hashem for your soul

Thank you so much Rabbi, for explaining all of these things. There are way more people out there than you can imagine who long to convert. For the sincere, I see the biggest obstacle is finding a Jewish community and a home within walking distance of a synagogue. Affordability is a factor there since it means finding employment in the area too.
Thank You Rabbi Singer from Springfield Oregon!
If anyone feels compelled to thank the Rabbis for sharing their wisdom on YT, give to a great cause like Colel Chabad.
I Could not read the new testament for 3 years now. When I became a Christian in 1983, I fell in love with the bible. I began reading thru every year. I fell in love with God almighty. I appreciated that through christianity I fell in love with my Heavenly Father. I went to church regularly and when I got baptized with the Holy Spirit a hot heat went through me and a shalom hit me that I didn't want to ever lose. I prayed to never lose that. I never knew what real pace was. I was always attracted to Jewish people and had a friend that told me I could ask a rabbi three times he would show me how to convert. Anyway, I have always prayed to your God to be taught how to keep all His feasts. I had to wait till my husband came into this faith. Christianity never worked for him. I started reading the Tanakh through last year and this is what I do daily. I I love Ez 20 that says He will bring us into the wilderness and contend with us there. Separate the rebellious from the ones that truly love Him. Only those will go into His land and there He will receive our offerings. Right now I am in Leviticus, 1 Samuel, and Psalms. I read 2 chapters of the Torah, 2 of the Prophets and 2 of the writings. Leviticus . I kept the Feast of the Tabernacle a few years ago with my son, cause he loves Hashem the way I do. We have longing to go and live in Israel. The last day of sleeping out side inn a tent. The llast day was unforgettable. We woke up in the morning and there was a shalom and peace all over North Hollywood, CA, my daughter in law was late for work. My son and I took her too school my grand daughter. There were noo cars anywhere. This is before covid. The haze or mist was every. I believe when you take the time to honor Him by keeping one or every feast like we should. You get to see His glory. I just finished reading where Aaron and his sons were separated and dedicated to Hashem. Then after the week dedication. They offered up the offering the next day like Moses told Aaron to. Moses had spoke to the people what was about to happen the day before that they would see Hashems glory. When they did they fell on their face and sang to Him. My mother took the time too do a genealogy she said that my father lineage was Levite. It didn't mean anything to me till I was baptized with the Holy Spirit. It was the old testament that made me fall in love with Elohim. I always apologized to Him about the sacrament. I will continue praying to the God of Israel.
Great video! I learned I was Jewish on my Mom’s side. But I converted anyway. ❤
Same!!!!!
If Judaism is passed down by the mother than why are the 12 tribes of israel named after Jacob's sons and not his daughters?
As a college student considering conversion, I needed to hear this. First thing Monday I'll ask my Jewish classmate if I may join her to attend the Synagogue next Shabbat
I'm a Catholic and I'm here because I'm interested in what other Abrahamic religions believe.
Great video. Your precious heart for people really came through in this video.
Thank you very much, Rabbi, for this lecture. It truly cleared a path for me. The main point I took away is that I should talk to God, and this feels incredibly meaningful. It’s guiding me on my journey to becoming a full member of the Jewish community.
Thank you Rabbi Tovia. I think it would be amazing to convert. Today I am just happy to be free of Christianity and all of its tenant ritual, idolatry and heresy.
I am from Mexico! But Hashem lead me to adopt the Jewish beliefs and to be adopted by Hashem himself as her daughter through the Torá (Tanach) Sidur ( Shabath in Fridays and Saturday services and Cabala studies) all day week’s Zohar reading, scanning Hebrew’s letters and studying Jumash week parashat! All this transformed my life to be righteous Jewish! I love my Eterno creator, Hashem my father of mercy!
I requested my Jewish name and Rabby Paula Feldstein in Washington heights directed me in a ceremony to get my Jewish name: Margalit! I feel privileged for what Hashem did! I always thank for whatever I received from my Jewish family through the memebers that respect and accept my friendship through the Hashem’s people! I feel Jewish and I am sure Hashem knows me and hugs me every day with care and infinity love! Thank you Abba because I only need you! And you are here for me! ❤
Thank you rabbi, this is very helpful and clarifying, answering many of my questions on conversion. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Truest line in the video, “Your Rabbi is there to slow you down”. HaShem’s got that job too. He’s helping the Rabbis out. He’s got your back! lol
Thank you, Rabbi Singer, for this topic. I once asked the question "why do Jews not accept Jesus as the Messiah" and your video that answered this question popped up. As I watched then read I was released from the slavery of Xtianity. Right away I wanted to 'convert' to the faith and the nation because I was in a state of euphoria in my newly discovered freedom, instead I have spent the past few years listening to online Rabbi teach and speak, including you of course, and came to understand that I don't NEED to convert that it's just fine for me to stay a Noach and I can still learn what Hashem wants of me as one of his creations... leading me to make a choice, with free will, to follow the 7 laws of the covenant of Noah... you are helping so many people turn toward Hashem and away from idolatry. If I live long enough I may consider conversion, which requires me to move from my home, and I'm an age what makes this difficult but who knows what HE has in store... for now I learn and walk in freedom from xitanity/idolatry.
I am so thankful you made this video. B"H thank you dear Rabbi Singer!! From a bat Noach

Beautiful background, watching the sunset in the super clean square of your taping. Must admit, first time I heard anyone speaking of conversion to Judaism publicly. I could see/hear the spirit in your tone and radiant face,confirming your beliefs.I think Rabbi, this approach is more noble than bashing others. That is conversion. Let people feel what you feel.
Todah Rabbi Singer! I decided to attend Temple before converting and I started attending Temple back in January of this year. I stopped practicing Roman Catholicism back in early November of last year. I will be attending my seventh Introduction to Judaism class and I love it and I have also studied the Hebrew alphabet and now I am studying Hebrew words and grammar. I am more at peace than I have ever been since I left the Catholic faith. There's a lot of deception in the Catholic faith. GOD is not first with Catholics unless you put Jesus and Mary In there then then GOD exists.

I can’t wait to watch this! I’ve often wondered if I should convert.
Needless to say, I wish I was more connected to the community. I don’t know how to achieve the same sense of community as before, especially in these rough times.
Just because you want to convert doesn’t mean you will be able to. The beit din has to approve your application. My application was denied with a “it’s final”. I believe final means done. So doesn’t matter how much I want to convert and reside in Israel. I’m not allowed.
Jews are judged harshest on Judgment Day, a prime reason for discouragement of conversion: it's especially hard training for an adult as opposed to a kid, just like Jedi 🌌
God seems to want a miniscule number of Jews ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Serms to be a part of His Experiment here on Earth🌎🌌
God is happy if we believe in and respect Judaism and Jews, follow the moral philosophies of the Torah, and leave the religious rules to the Jews
But bro if you feel a calling then you feel a calling📞 Many happy happy converts have no regrets 🇮🇱
@TorahisthetruthPsalms were you told why?
@@RobertH1971 Jews are judged harshest on Judgment Day, and it seems God is content with a very small number of Jews. Best wishes in all your choices
@@dailysmelly9756 no explanation given by the beit din. And I don’t have baggage, mental illness, big sins, idol worship, & not converting for marriage. It’s just me thats converting. I have no spouse or children.
So I don’t understand why they said “it’s final”. This is definitely a question I will ask Hashem when I’m in the next life.
I want to convert to judaism. From Portugal. Already having hebrew and judaism classes.
Baruch HaShem! Welcome home! You might be of Jewish ancestry because Portugal had so many forced conversions.
i could listen to you for hours ❤
Very solid information. Much appreciated!
I was thinking about converting to Judaism but after listening to you Rabbi I had to rethink because of the long process and I'm 69 and don't have to many years left. Also I don't live in a Jewish community. None the less i still follow your lectures here on UA-cam. I have learned a lot from you and thank you. I gave up Christianity over 30 years ago and feel a longing for the Jewish teaching. I find it to be true.
Thinking about conversion makes me feel like coming home. Like I come home to my family after a long journey abroad.
My both parents left the christian church before I was born. Jews taught us who God really is and we learnt how to perform prayer for Israel, communal living, having 1 day of rest a week, building and sharing wealth during a crisis. The Netherlands is becoming a very sensitive and knowledgable country, that's a blessing in itself. If you are not scared of sin and you are embracing godliness miracles will happen. Now I am hoping He will grant me aliyah. But I know His plan is good and the world will respect his country again. The world is full of mystery and faith even as we are entering the scientific era, it doesn't change a thing.
If there is no archeological evidence that Abraham, Noah, Moses, David or Solomon existed does this affect your outlook on your cultural or ethnic identity?
I loved this video! This man's heart and sincerity makes him special!
I am so glad you are talking about this! I converted in 2004. I would myself council non Jews to reconsider. They have no idea what they would be truly under taking!
I tell my conversion candidates, "What do you need this for? It's very difficult. You can't eat all those nice foods at a hotel breakfast, there's no electronics every Shabbat and sometimes you have 3-days in a row with no telephone or any electronics. What do you need this for when you're fine as a righteous gentile?" Also you will be viewed as strange by your own family, not to mention the social and work-life challenges. It sounds like you found that out over time.
❤ Thank you rabbi ❤

😂 I did everything the Rabbi said not to do. I called, told the Synagogue I was coming, showed up, was checked by security, and told the security guard I was there to convert. They were nice and let me go there for a while. I moved within walking distance but I think they were worried I was one of those undercover Christians and since I'm a single woman, that made things worse. People stopped talking to me and I felt alone. I still live in the Jewish community but do all my study online. If I can find a husband willing to convert with me, I might fit in better. Not so easy to do. If I'm meant to convert, Moshiach won't come until I'm finished. If my conversion is not necessary for G-d's plan, I won't convert. Thanks for sharing the advice Rabbi. To anyone else in America, I started attending shul prior to October 7th and security was heavy (big armed guards with desert eagles). No doubt it is heavier now. Don't wear layers and don't bring your purse.

Wow, I'm sorry it has been this difficult for you. I am Jewish from birth, so I have not directly experienced conversion, although my best friend growing up was a son of converts in a community that practically does not accept converts.
In the end, the aim of a Jew is still accessible to you: serving G-d while He is hidden from you is actually the only way to learn to truly serve G-d. It is the same challenge for me.
If you do what is right, everything will be truly be good. Don't worry.
Now try again after learning all of this. I wish you the best of luck and success ♥️ May Hashem bless you!
@@mbassan Thank you.
@Amhanetsach All the other people I know who tried converting went back to Jesus. Which makes me think they probably weren't good candidates for conversion. My mind is prone to wander towards Atheism. I just can't believe that a man was sealed behind a tomb by Romans and those very same Romans didn't just move the body. And then all the people thinking they saw a totally different man. That just looks like an elaborate ruse by Rome to cause division amongst the Jewish people, and then it got out of hand when Constantine converted and Christianity took over the Roman Empire.
This coming summer marks 9 years since I joined the tribe and I don’t regret anything.

Thank you Rabbi for taking the time explain conversion.
How is it possible that I lived among jewish friends for 17 years, loving them, them loving me, and NEVER the conversation came up of giving me an opportunity to express all my feelings and questions. My jewish friends were lovely, but very very private in their faith. I felt that asking could be intrusive or offensive bc they were very private. Now Im 60 and have to find where I can get Jewish instructions to start my process to Judaism. I moved to Lake County in Florida and there is no Jewish synagogue. Im so sad of not knowing that I needed to buy a house close to a synagogue.😭😭. But, adding all things inconveniences, I cannot turn back. Once you see the lies I was taught in Christianity, you can’t unsee it
In fact, Jews are commanded to settle in Israel. You can forget about Florida.

Do the application with the beit din first to know if you will be accepted.
Don't listen to that character. You don't apply to any beit din. Your sponsoring Rabbi decides which beit din once he determines your readiness... which in itself will take a long time because he has to actually get to know you, the person you truly are, and how you handle decision making and to just basically know your character. Keep going 💪 ✨️ 👌 👏 💓 👍

Thank you, you have solved my problem today
Comment on the last few points that were made about people who have Jewish roots who do not think they're Jewish. When I went to school (secular public school) during the '60s, this was only a few decades away from the European horrors of the '40s. Many of my schoolmates had Jewish surnames. A good number of them had no idea that they were Jewish, and their parents actually did not want them to know they were Jewish.
There's more to that story. When my schoolmates with the Jewish names saw my eating matzah during certain times of the year, or not being at school during certain times of the year, and hearing my explanations regarding that; and my inquiring if they were Jewish, the discussion got to the point which, several of the parents of these schoolmates came to me and to my parents, insisting that I not talk to these schoolmates about anything Jewish. It was a strange, and bizarre for me as a pre-teen to experience this as well as distressing for me to see how these parents thought they were raising their children in such a manner. They were clearly terrified and it was very clear that they thought they were only doing what was best for their children.
A few of them just moved out of the neighborhood eventually.
The point is, out of dread, many folks who are completely Jewish are running around without any notion about their nation, about their identities.
Thanks for the content. Keep up the good work.

I want to convert to Judaism but im just scared of the circumcising
I am an adult who grew up without any religion outside of the culturally Christian things expected of Americans (Halloween and Christmas being good examples of this) who wants to convert, however I have zero local synagogue. I wish to move closer to a jewish community, physically, before I even begin to ask about becoming a conversion student for real.
Another great teaching
Convert and be part of the chosen people
No thanks.
@glenanleitner2606 it doesn't seem to be God's wish at all that everyone convert; actually it seems God wants a tiny small number of Jews in a world of Non-Jews ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@bigtomboye you right don't have to convert
My comment did not say that
But without conversation you are not one of the chosen
But still have a relationship with G-D
Not even for a Billion dollars will I convert to Judaism.
Start with Teshuva, then a Mitzvah, but when you're doing this start respecting Shabbath, and learn Torah. Specially during Shabbath.
Don't convert yet, just live it for a couple of years.
Excellent suggestions.

Wise advice and unerstandable its very direct instruction.
Rabbi Singer - I enjoyed your "Lets Get Biblical" series. Since you get thousands of questions regarding this, have you considered writing a book about the expectations of Jews in Israel v Jews outside of Israel, and Gentiles in Israel v Gentiles outside of Israel, and the benefit of Gentile conversion vs things to consider.. etc.?
Isaiah 56:6 "Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant; 56:7 Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer"
The stranger who keeps Jewish commandments is a Jewish convert.

I'm adding my sincere thanks for a great precis!
Thank you
I was born Jewish in the United States- We were ashkenazi conservative Jews and we didn’t keep kosher. It was a choice.
My synagogue was conservative and our Rabbi David Artz is a conservative Rabbi. My brothers were bar mitzvahed
They never Bat Mitzvahed girls in the. 1950’s because they felt it was for boys. However we had a wonderful group and we were close like family. I know all the rules in Judaism.
We celebrated all the holidays. And went to temple every Friday before Sundown.
Do you consider conservative Jews not real Jews because we are not ORTHODOX?
My thoughts exactly. In my Conservative synagogue, the actively participating membership is at least 1/4 converts. I had months of study, a Bet Din, and was in a mikvah. Hashem knows I am Jewish.
I plan on converting to Judaism at some point in my life. I do have patrilineal Jewish ancestry so that's one reason; another reason is that it's always been the one religion I felt has spoken to me.
The closest synagogue to my house that isn't messianic is 40 minutes away from me, though.
That’s not bad; I will be moving 2000 miles.
40 minutes? I drive 2.5 once a week, four weeks most months and on holidays I can make four trips a week. You can handle 40 minutes
he synagogue to me is probably 500 miles. There's not one Orthodox synagogue in my entire state. I live in South Dakota home to the lease percentage of the least amount of Jews in the United States just my luck! I have to move to convert but moving is expensive. I'm hoping I can move in the spring.
