judaism is an ethnoreligious culture, not a religion. even if the culture believes in their god. "religion" and "judaism" are not words in ancient hebrew and judaism wasnt considered a religion until 1700s France

"It's a spiritual force within you." I like that. Although, philosophically I would argue that all souls are the same. 🤔 But I don't mind being Jewish. 🤷🏻‍♀️

That's awesome!

[@danielabraham2772]

Great vedio

[@sissy9393]

If I go through conversion, will other Jews consider me Jewish?
Edit- I know it is very hard work but I’m willing to do the work.

[@kateburdon]

Your conversion will always be recognised by your community but depending on where you convert the orthodox may not recognise you as a Jew.

[@myJLI]

Yes, absolutely!

[@1101agaoj]

Lol, this is guaranteed to produce many differences in opinion, which would be unifying in its Jewishness! Respects !:D

@@Another_leaf that's more of an asterisk, shoot even the Edomites were force converted to Judaism in the 1st century, not exactly the rule. ;) 99% of Jews were born as such, give or take.
