  • do our kids want to convert to Orthodox Judaism? In this video we talk about how we shared that we want to convert to Orthodox Judaism with our kids. How did our kids feel about converting? What were their thoughts about converting to Orthodox Judaism? We have 5 kids who's ages range from 8 months to 14 years old. Converting with 5 kids is no easy road. But we can honestly say that it has been the decision our family has ever made. Let us know in the comments how you handled this moment with your kids?
    Follow our family as we take you all on our journey to converting to Judaism!

      As an Orthodox Jewish woman from birth, I want to tell you how inspiring you both are. Your children sound incredible as well.
      You guys are amazing!
      It's so very difficult to change one character trait, yet you are completing the journey to change your lives entirely and are converting in the proper manner.
      All of the honor to you and your family.
      It's always very exciting to gain more siblings!
      I'm so very sorry that you received some obnoxious comments regarding your videos.
      I love your whole family.
      What a special clan you are.
      I'm so very grateful that you started this process before Moshiach comes.
      Once he comes, there will be no more converts allowed for all eternity.
      Your love for Hashem shines like a beacon of light.
      Stay strong against the haters.
      I love you both and your family.

    When my husband and I converted we did not have any kids. Our daughter is fully in to being Jewish. She is proud in her Yiddishkite. I love witching her grow and learn her Hebrew I love listening to her Daven. Being in an orthodox Jewish school has really made a big difference in her skill level.

What you had to say about your children sounds like the way forward in the best way possible. You perfectly understand, as do your children, that it's not the answers we give but the questions we ask in life. You are a credit to the Jewish community.

    I find you every inspiring. I am the child of a convert, but was born into being an Chasidic jew. It's amazing that you are such good role models for your kids, for them to want to join you on this journey. I always grew up feeling very proud of my father for being a convert. It's not always easy being the child of converts, when living in a very insular community, since we are sometimes the subject to bullying or judgment or being othered. Thankfully, I've never experienced this, but my brothers have, unfortunately. I have always been very proud of being Jewish and would never want it any other way. I always feel grateful to my father for choosing this path. I always had a positive view of Hashem, because of my parents view of Hashem. Keep passing on the positive messages and they will blossom. May Hashem always send you and your children the right people and community who will always make you feel loved and cherished and may you have an easy transition . I think you are two beautiful people, both inside and out and you embody special neshamos.

    Beautiful story! Giving them choice is important. I knew a family in congregation who had six children and they had lived a form of Judaism for over a decade. But in the end their lives totally changed and they went back to Sunday christian church and today their adult children don't follow anything other than secular life. I don't think their kids had ever been guided into in learning Hebrew or Torah but that the kids just tagged along and got lost in the shuffle. Very sad. So to hear your story is encouraging. Bring up a child in the way it should go......right. Shalom

That’s the beauty of having access to all of the stories of Tanakh… all of the greats had struggles. They were examples for all of us. I don’t think there were any “perfect” journeys. May we all draw strength from these stories and find encouragement to keep going! Much love achi!🙏🏾🙏🏾

    So sorry for negative interactions. I majored in social media management, and I gotta say try and ignore the comments if you can. I view it is as the baseless hatred of our generation. There's really nothing but HaShem, just know there will be justice somewhere, on this side of Shamayim or another. As for you, keep your head up and revealing the light. May HaShem bless your journey. Tehillim 1 says it best

    I don’t think the greatest thing is that your kids ask questions because that is normal for kids. The greatest thing is that their parents (u 2) created and perpetuate an environment where ur kids feel so comfortable(beyond safe) to ask questions and receive answers.

I think the way you both handled the issue with your kids is beautiful and I think show not tell is beautiful I think that's so beautiful how they love the lifestyle of being Jewish.

    The converts I've known tend to be the Jewiest Jews. They get really excited at Pesach about celebrating freedom & love eating in the Sukkah even when it's cold. It's good to have these folks around to remind us born Jewish Jews that we have something really wonderful.

      Us Messianic Jews enjoy all the appointed feasts with the same enthusiasm: we are the Bride, waiting for our Galatian Wedding, with The Bride-Groom: Hashem.
      Hashem was peirced, on the cross: God wrapped in flesh.
      Hashem is the Afikomen: Yeshua's body, broken for His Believers, wrapped in linen, & "hidden"/buried, for the younger generations to: "find"/see/witness.
      Hashem has already paid the Bride's Dowry, in the southeast U.S., in the 1990's: gold coins supernaturally manifested and dropped from near the ceiling, when the Christian Church was praying and fasting, asking Hashem for help in paying paying past-due billscand taxes.
      The Jewish Rabbis are dishonest, & hide many verses from their followers.
      Muslims & Palestine hides: excavated dirt from near the Dome on the Rock...but: when Archealogists were able to dig through just a small portion, the New Testament was proven to be a historical record!
      Be encouraged to pray about it, asking Hashem to reveal the Truth. Why would Yeshua declare: "Telestine"/it is finished/paid in full, had God not wrapped Himself in flesh, born of the house of David? Even: John the Baptist was descended from the house of David.
      Before this period of Grace is over--be encouraged to look up/listen to & study with: One For Israel, Zev Porat, & Sid Roth. There is much being censored from Jews--it's not fair. Seek the Truth, & ye shall find it!

    I assume that the Beis Din had you guys enroll your school-age children in a Jewish school. I wanted to know how your children were doing in school and how they are adapting. I also am curious about the kind of effect they are having on both of you as parents. I ask because my children progressed so quickly and seemed to flourish that they sort of put the "pressure" on me and my wife. It is incredible what kind of motivation and good influence your children can have on you. I know it might sound strange to some out there, but I think you know exactly what I'm referring to.
    All the best to you both, Binyomin

    Now that is a question I never thought of before: does the mezuzah have to be at any particular height on the door frame? What if the inhabitant of a particular room in a house is of short stature and is not able to reach very high? Is it permissible to place the mezuzah lower than the "usual" height, so that they can reach it? If they are a child, is it possible to place the mezuzah low when they are young, and gradually raise it as they get older?

    When my husband and I decided to take our daughters’ lead and become ba’alei t’shuva/ones who return and repent…I liked to say that we took something really good (our marriage, our kids, our family unit and our standing in the community) and just made it all that much better with Torah observance. This is what I believe you are doing. You sound like really good human beings who respect one another and others and raised your children with love and patience and understanding…in other words… real menschen!!! As Rabbi Shurin told me years ago (the rabbi who leads the women’s seminary of Shappell’s Yeshiva in J’lem)… you can teach anyone Torah but you can’t teach them how to be a MENSCH!

    FYI I did some research on dieting and found vegetarian keto with occasional fish to be the most healthy. Meat and dairy are overrated, and despite the encouragement to eat meat and drink wine, I find that eating heathly means more than indulging in lavish meals, its a quandryz, people serving the best tasting meat cholent, and wondrously tasting cheese dishes, etc, but when age kicks in it hurts you later. There is no obligation to eat meat, and restricting it to Shabbos and Yom Tov is sensible.....its the mitzvah of guarding your health and the custom to eat meat over and over and then eat some more. Seeming contradictions......being vegetarian is not against the Torah, its a slight modification of custom (a warranted modification given 120 million Americans are obese, diabetic or pre diabetic, something has to give).....food for thought.....I hope this helps you note the custom vs the obligation.

    Are you hoping eventually to make aliyah? If so you might want to consider Tzfat as a possibility for you. There are a lot of gerim here for some reason...( maybe because it is possibly one of the ancient cities of refuge) and so the community is very accepting, there is a big Breslov community here, and we also have an Ethiopian community here as well.. not to mention a relatively large Anglo community..
    However it's not so great for parnassah, but great for spirituality... the Israeli population is mostly Sephardi from the Arab countries...

      @@eliedecastro5716 hello. I’ve studied the Torah, the Nevi'im and the Ketuvim. I realized while reading that the Jews actually don’t follow Prophet Moses (peace be upon him). The Jews believe that their rabbis are charged with interpreting its commandments. Therefore, even God’s own judgment cannot outweigh the consensus of the rabbis. I found that strange because God , the All Knowing and Wise doesn’t need permission from His creations & God wouldn’t choose ill prophets whomHe sent specifically for us to follow and why would we follow not the prophet that was specially chosen by God but fallible rabbis? The Quran was revealed and recited and remembered by billions of Muslims and we follow the Quran and the the acts (sunnah) of God final Prophet. We have scholars and imams to help but the Quran is the literal word of God, no contradiction or human intervention and no human (scholar, Imam or rabbi) can outweigh the judgment of the All Mighty God.
