- The Jewish People is blessed when someone chooses to become Jewish. Over the course of history, an urban myth arose which suggests that rabbis must send potential converts away. This is not true, nor does it represent the beauty of Judaism's welcome. Rabbi Menachem Creditor works with many people on their journeys toward becoming Jewish. This is what he usually shares when someone comes to him for the first time, asking to join the Jewish People.
Dear Friends,
the responses to this video have been overwhelming, in number and in emotion. Here's what I've been responding to many inquiries:
"welcome. glad to support you. here is the best website for starting your journey: www.myjewishlearning.com/, and here's a good book www.amazon.com/Jewish-Literacy-Important-Religion-History/dp/0688085067. are you in an area with a Jewish community? that's the best way to learn - with others."
strength to you all, and welcome! I'm so glad to support you on your Jewish Journey!
Rabbi Creditor
Rabbi Menachem Creditor Hi rabbi.. I'm a Catholic and I want to become a jew but I don't know how to start. Thank you
Thank you I want to come

Why do u wanna become a Jew? Whats the higher Reward to be a Jew and not a Noahidim? Are there many Paradises or Levels or just one for the Righteous One and isn't it regardless of whether you believe or disbelieve aslong our are one of the Righteous One?!? Did u convert? 🤔
@@3HR3NGR4BThere are lot of reasons do you want to listen
This rabbi is such a soft-spoken gentleman. I am not Jewish, but I would honestly love to meet this man. His welcoming approach is something special.
Never cried with happiness in less than two minutes before. As someone who is looking to convert, this is what I needed to hear.
@@Philip54622Did you make it are you a Jew I hope so but at 13 when you wrote your comment you where a sharp kid. Regards Ireland.
ME TOOOOOO!!!
I converted with a conservative rabbi a month ago and was so thankful that he was warm and welcoming also. Being Jewish is a blessing and I am so thankful I followed my heart.
I am starting my process to Conservative Judaism as well. I am seeking to become an Observant Jewish man. I chose Conservative Judaism both for Observance but also because they affirm & support LGBT persons & Gay Marriage as a gay man
@@nathanbabcock7787 I am a Conservative Jew and understand your feelings. Good luck in the future. Hatzlacha.
Please convert orthodox, its the only true Judaism , bless you
@@ruthietaylor8756 no it’s not
@@royalnation400 wake up
I watch this over again when I am feeling lonely as a person who converted to Judaism. It is difficult to live as a single Jewish woman without people to have Shabbat meals with or have to hope to be invited to Jewish holidays by your community. Your video always reaffirms my choice to become a Jew even though it is difficult being a Jew alone. Thank you again Rabbi for your kind words.
Get in touch with Partners in Torah. They will assign you a compatible study partner and you can study together any area of Judaism/Torah you like either in person or over the phone
. It will help you feel a lot less isolated. There is no charge.
Bless you, I hope you are doing well and have found new friends and family! :)
I'm trying to be converted to Jewish Orthodox, I know he Hebrew Bible a lot and study Jewish history..
I need someone to convert me now..my email joshualamberti07@gmail.com
@@EssenesOrthopraxy it is of great interest to many. But we also must remember the Orthodox Jews do not believe in Yeshua! The Messianic Jews believe in Yeshua as well as keeping the Jewish faith. Yeshua is returning soon!!
Interested in Converting to Judaism? Welcome!
Thank you Rabbi! May I ask if you are an Orthodox rabbi? Because I've contacted lots of Orthodox rabbis online and they all say that in order for them to even consider starting the conversion process (classes, learn Hebrew, attend shul) they have to send me away three times. It is actually very disheartening.
I am a Noahide for now but an Orthodox friend (a convert) said I can use a Jewish name if I wish so I go by Chaya online.
Imran, anyone can convert to Judaism :) Ruth was a convert to Judaism from her pagan ways. Feel free to send me a message. I'm no expert but I can try and answer some questions.
hello rabbi i wanted to become jew please guide me.
I am interested in converting to Judaism. How can I do this conversion thingy? My mom's side of the family do have Greek-Jew and Spanish Jew blood.but they are Christians now -_- So am I a jew or a . . . ?
Dear Rabbi, bless you. I've contacted more than 20 different, Synagogues, Congregations and Rabbis and less than half of them have replied to me or given me any help or advise. I live in UAE, which it makes it exponentially more difficult, but I wont give up. I am learning by my self, buying books, watching documentaries, joining online hebrew lessons. I want to make it happen. Some of us, I guess that we fall deeply in love with Judaism... There are not enough words to describe the feeling. Regards.
HI Bro,
Please give me some tips. I live in UAE Abu Dhabi.
@@Dancewithclouds aish.com gives quite a lot of tips/knowledge if you're interested. Just type your question with the word aish at the beginning and knowledge wise you are 👍 to a certain extent.
Here's 2 of their links www.aish.com/ci/sam/48951136.html?mobile=yes

They also have an online Rabbi service and I guess you can ask through it if you are interested.
What a warm and welcoming message for people seeking to convert. I am one and thank you, Rabbi!
Judaism is in someone's soul! Even if you're not born as a jew (parents not jewish), you can still have a jewish soul (and convert to judaism)!
You obviously don't know anything about souls.
Having a Jewish soul is exclusively for Jews, otherwise why convert??!
So, are you saying a convert to Judaism is not a real Jew?
That is not what I'm saying.
@@TheProfessorSocksI have a Jewish soul. I love to convert to Judaism and I am planning this for more than 8 years. There is no Synagouge and Jewish community where I live. I always think becoming a Jew. My soul is absolutely Jewish soul!
You cannot have a Jewish soul if you aren't Jewish. I don't know what you define as a "soul" but the soul in Judaism is "Neshama", you only get this AFTER converting.
I'm 14 years old and I love judaism with all my heart. I'm not of the Jewish religion but I've been fascinated with it since I was 11. I few months ago I realized how much judaism means to me and I want to convert when I'm 18. Some people think I'm crazy for wanting to be a Jew but I have this wonderful feeling whenever I think of being one. I've studied nearly everyday about judaism and the traditions and the history of it. When I saw this video I didn't realize that there were rabbis that would be so excepting and it made me so happy to watch this video. I was so nervous to go in and talk to a rabbi about conversion and to ask questions that I still need answers for but now my confidence level has increased so much because I truly believe that this is what I want.
My friend, I too am 14 and want to convert to Judaism, my parents disapprove of my wishes, and my friends are unaccepting of my beliefs, but I have believed this way since i was 10. I would like to say Mazel Tov! I wish you the best and wish me luck with conversion
Well you two I wish you the best of luck in converting to Judaism.
Oy vey
Well, Elise, you made it! It is one year away.
Are you still interested?
Anyway good luck!
I hope you’ve made your journey now or at least well on the path.
As a Jew by choice, your warm words of encouragement, love, and welcome brought a tear to my eye. Thank you, Rabbi.
I just visited my very first Shabbat Service last night and welcomed with open arms. It was a reformed Synagogue and I ha e setup an appointment with the Rabbi. I’m super stoked! Shalom!
I'm trying to be converted to Jewish Orthodox, I know he Hebrew Bible a lot and study Jewish history.. my email joshualamberti07@gmail.com
Reform is not real Judaism. It's a distortion, an absence. Real Judaism is only accessible with orthodoxy, an orthodox shul and community. The rest is a cheap facsimile.
I have been researching conversion recently and the two previous videos I saw were speaking negatively about converts and saying they will never be welcome and that there will always be a problem with them. It was extremely discouraging for me but I am so thankful I found this video. About halfway through I started crying because of how much this means to me so thank you for putting this out there
Or be muslim
This was very comforting to hear. I myself have just approached a rabbi about wanting to convert and so I know how scary it is. Thank you for posting this and making me feel a whole lot better about my decision!
My wife is Jewish and I've thought of converting, not only because of that but because the Jewish beliefs seem to match my own. I've said this online before, and I always hear, No you shouldn't do it from Jewish folks. This is nice to hear.
I've been thinking about my heritage for the past 5 years, and recently, I have been really drawn to learn more about Judaism - with the possibility of conversion... My father is from the city where Ethiopian Jews are from, haven’t confirmed if he is, or was and converted due to religious persecution, or is just from the city but no ties. Highly doubt it’s the latter, but would be nice to have a definitive answer and confirmation. He was never a part of my life and I grew up in an Orthodox Christian household (My mother's side). One of the things that has been holding me back is the fear of being turned away or not accepted. Glad to have found this video. Thank you, Rabbi :)
You are a blessing to people.
Finally a Rabbi that believes as it supposed to be. I am a born ISRAELITE a born Jew. And what our people need to understand more than anything is that even Chazal would not approve of the 3 turn down law and a big wake up call most of our people need is to know that all people al;ready know this. Furthermore in many cases there are many in our people who chose to be ;leaders who became idolaters now why do I say such a thing? they do not believe in conversion thus going against G-D's law in Exodus which is anyone who comes between man and G-D is idolatry. It's good to know we still have good RABANIM out there. I do the same as this is TIKUN OLAM to ve the LIGHT to all nations it means to be the TRUTH to all nations. Thank u again Rabbi for giving me TIKVAH for our people. TIZKEAH LE MITZVOT.
But if this is the case why aren't convert accepted in Syria?
I had a heart attack 15 years ago. I went through a profound spiritual crisis afterwards and read a lot about Judaism and went to see a Rabbi. I was struck by his wisdom. Having to move away after, I didn't unfortunately continue. I wish things had been different.
My wife and I are just starting the conversion process here in Birmingham, al from Catholicism. We love the temple, the problem who have welcomed us, and the rabbi who was as excited to have us consider the option. Keep up the good work! Lots of people are going to be coming your way, I have a feeling :)
Thank you so much for this. After wasting half of my life on dead end paths, I've taken an interest in the Torah. Some of the wind was knocked out my sails when I heard how aggressively some communities reject converts. I feel motivated again now.
How are you doing now?
(I am in the deflated sails part, but very slowly reinflating)
This video literally made me cry. Thank you for your love and support.
Wow. This brought me to tears. I've been considering conversion over the past year and this really touched my heart. Thank you.
I wish I had an experience with you. Fortunately I passed my rejection stage but it took me 3 years only because exactly like you said it communicated that my rabbi was mean and racist as I mistakenly thought. But I still thought after the fact that the whole thing was so unnecessary because like you said just for someone to be brave enough to say they want to be a new to a stranger is tough enough. I'm a shy and a bit anti social so I really took rejection hard. But I'm glad its over and I hope more rabbis take your approach.
I’ve been interested in Judaism my entire life. The religion itself, and the Jewish people, have always fascinated me, and I’ve always felt a strong pull towards it. I’ve had my doubts in the past, but because of them, I am now certain that converting is what I want to do. I know it’s going to be hard, but that makes it all the more intriguing, because at the end it’ll mean I’ll have earned my status.
The recent events in Pittsburgh were so tragic - I have no words. But this has solidified in my mind that this is what I want, and what I need, and who I am meant to be.
I’m turning 18 in June - I think I may have to wait until then to start this journey. I’m not sure. But I may not have the patience, and I may try to start a little bit too early,
Rabbi, your words have inspired and validated me, and I want to thank you for that. I could never express fully how much your words mean to me. Thank you so much.
I need your help I'm now 21 years old and I want to be a Jewish so badly how can I contact you .. thanks
I want to thank you so much for these two minutes of warmth. It means so much to so many with nervousness going into that first meeting to begin a new journey. Todah rabah, Rabbi.
Thank you so much Rabbi, I have been told many times that I am not welcome in Judaism because my father was a Jew but my mother is not. This definitely makes me feel better!
Come to Yeshua! Just like Abraham, you are counted righteous by faith in the Jewish Messiah.
Isaiah 53
Thank you Rabbi. You've touched my heart.
I am hoping to convert to Judaism. I am 17 (almost 18yrs old) and I want to convert so badly. I love everything about Judaism. The culture, religion, people, spirituality, and just all of it as a whole. I am just not sure how to go about it and what to do to become a convert...
Go and talk to an orthodox rabbi, G-d willing you will get there! Best of luck x
I’m on the same boat
I would do anything to be anywhere near your Congregation, rabbi!
I dream of moving to a country where my partner and I could convert properly.
Greetings from an aspiring convert from Athens, Greece.
Thank you Rabbi! Bless you for this is the heart 💙 of Judaism. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord...
I hope the Rabbi in Norway is as kind and accepting. I'm the first in at least 800 years in my family to seek out Judaism. I hope I find peace with the Jewish people.
Same here. My family has been strictly Roman Catholic for centuries. If I ever told my grand-parents I was interested in converting to Judaism, they would be disappointed
Rabbi, this is absolutely beautiful! Very refreshing! Thank you for such kind words!
This video made me cry - thank you so much for your kind words, it truly made my day!
Thank you Rabbi, these words are so comforting
Converting to Judaism is one of the best decisions I ever made.
what a beautiful message, thank you rabbi
Shalom to you Rabbi! I have had a firm belief in Judaism ever since I was young. About 9 or 10 years old. I was never baptized or "christened" as a child because my father felt I should be able to make the decision when I was old enough. I am now 25 and still hold the firm belief that Judaism is right for me! Thank you for your words and resources!
I was always interested in Judaism since I was a kid. In high school, I had a few Jewish classmates and love the way their families are so close together and how the community is so nice to each other.
It a big family and everyone is so involved in keeping the traditions and history. I love the way that parents pass on their culture and language to their kids.
I have considered it many times. I might have a chat with my local Rabbi when I finish college.
Thanks, Menachem! Even though I was born Jewish, I was raised with no Judaism and had internalized a lot of negative baggage about it. I had to overcome a lot of psychological obstacles to join the Jewish community. Many thanks to you and to Congregation Netivot Shalom for being so welcoming!
I've already converted to Judaism by the shed blood of Jesus Christ.
All glories to the Lamb of God.
I absolutely am in awe , I've just recently decided to convert and am in the beginning stages ! Thank you Rabbi , g-d bless you x
I'm glad I found your site. I was on another site and was told I wasn't Jewish because I was a convert. That person does not know anything about me. I moved away from my former community a few years ago and I live in a city where there are not a lot of Jews and only two synagogues. I've been to both but I didn't click. I'm very shy and I know the communities were trying to be welcoming but I felt ganged up on. I can learn to feel comfortable but it takes me time. Anyway, I'm happy to have found your site.
this was so beautiful. thank you. i cant believe you made me cry in two minutes!! I've been trying to convert for two years now and I haven't been able yet. It's so frustrating and disheartening. I feel like I am doing 0 progress and that I have to give up. I cant believe how welcoming and warm felt that mazel tov, I really am just crying. I can't wait to start. I hope it happens soon.
Hello, I am currently thinking about converting to Judaism and i have a couple of questions. First How would you describe G-d? I have looked at a couple of places and i get more and more confused the more i look into it. Also is it possible to practice Judaism without becoming Jewish? Synagogs are in very short supply in the American Midwest. Any response would be appreciated, Thank You!
I have wanted to convert for some time now but I don't live close to a jewish community. I have started reading the Torah and I've been slowly working on learning hebrew. I have also read about the process of converting and of jewish culture. Is there a way to convert without going to a temple/synagogue? (Perhaps online) I am joining the army in a year, so I was thinking if I couldn't convert before then I could ask a rabbi in the army to help me, but it'd be nice if I could convert before then. Ever since I began to learn about Judaism I've been following the Seven Laws of Noah. Any advise would be appreciated.
What a beautiful message 💖
Thank you
On October 7th, 2023 I became Jewish in my heart. It was a inner spontaneous knowing that I cannot explain. It just happened and the feeling stayed with me ever since.
G-d bless and protect Israel. With love from Germany.
Wow Kerstin, ich fühl das zu 100%! Dieses "inner knowing" kann man nicht erklären. Hast du vor zu Konvertieren? Ich würde mich sehr über einen Austausch freuen.
Thanks for this! In the process of converting as we speak. Needed these words.
Baruk Hashem for this encouraging message. Yes, many of us finally see the light and many are on the process of converting. BH"
What do you think about the concept that there can be a difference between family genetics/ethnicity and family "souls". I was on the fence for converting since over a decade now, but this realization gave me peace enough. If I remember correctly there was a psychological study, that we find (to a degree!) more victims of abusive families (physically or through emotional deteoriation) among those wishing to convert to Judaism. *NOT* in general. But for me this psychological aspect was my primary thing going on. Belonging, finding a new home - and Judaism always felt really cozy for me as an outsider. And for me(!) that wasn't pure enough for a main motivation (haha, see you all in a few years!), that so far I gave up on the idea. For me it makes a difference if my soul/neshama is Jewish or is just lonesome. What I want to say is: I cheer for your heartwarming approach because yeah most people have their brave motives. But I also like the idea putting these motivations to a test.
When I look at many stories ans motivations of converts, many are "pure". Like stories where you think: This cannot be just coincidence or by chance. For me individually my psychological explanation worked but I would recommend to modt people to follow your heart and soul and listen to what your inner whisper tells you.
(It is evident for me though - even if this was definitely not my problem - that Germany relatively has an abnormal above average rate of converts to Judaism. One thing are many "German-Russians" with only a Jewish father but not a Jewish mother, but more strinkingly it is because of the Holocaust. That is so evident to me - psychoanalytically. So again, one cannot make generalizations because of that, but there will be *some* who have this - consciously or un-consciously - as a false motivation. So it is good to question the motivation of a convert. But you can be heartwarming and polite while doing so. So I applaud you for that.
In the end it's the old "give customers what they want" Vs. "what they need" question. ;-) For some. And some things can be better achieved in other ways, instead of converting to Judaism. Though I believe the concept of a converts neshama always have Jewish to be very true. Maybe not all of thr time, but most of the time.
This video always encourages me and gives me hope! God willing I will convert to Judaism.
I'm very happy to have stumbled upon this video. Thank you, Rabbi.
Thank you. From someone looking to convert. Many blessings 🌺☺️
Thank you! Now, how and where to start, please?
Absolutely great Rabbi, absolutely great, and may “Hashem” continue to bless you and your ministry...
If I am to convert what branch should I do?
Your kindness. Thank you, Rabbi.
Rabbi you are amazing 💗💗💗!I so wish to convert to Judaism hope to find as great a rabbi as yourself here in Poland 🕎
I converted after a ten year process. :) Now I'm a observant Orthodox Jew. only 29. I would say don't wait. If you are considering the conversion process look for a Sponsoring Rabbi now, and I only recommend Orthodox conversions!!
Yosef C I need your help
Yosef C Yosef, can you explain me why it's important to go see a Orthodox rabbi? I am 19 years old now, raised as a Christian, but I have a strong believe that Jesus is not the Messiah, so i am struggling and im thinking of becoming a jew
I'm here for ya!
well my process began when i was like 18. Don't wait ten years like me. It's very important that you see an Orthodox Rabbi to validate your conversion. Conversion is not simple, and Jews tend to judge based of which level conversion you have. I'm an Orthodox Jew, and I'm never questioned. Everywhere i go i accepted as a Jew. If you accept reform or conservative an Orthodox Jew may not consider your conversion valid. The important thing is if you have questions you must seek answers. Do you honestly feel Jewish? Do you have a connection with the Jewish people? Do you feel that the Torah is true, and nothing can be added or subtracted from it? Find a Rabbi, and go talk to one. They might discourage you, but that's part of the test :D
I was raised christian too! I went to church every Sunday growing up, and one day i went to my mother, and said I'm Jewish inside.
Thank you very much Rabbi Menachem I was very surprised by your opinion to make it possible for everyone to accept Judaism, I think it's great, I myself love and believe in the god Abraham Isaac Jacob Sara Rivka Rachel and lea the holy g-d of Israel I as noahide it is the same for me to define myself as a Jew, Out of consideration for my family you are not an outsider , but they see how I try to change my life from time to time to live according to the Torah to please God and maybe inspire them to do so. Everyone should choose the best one for themselves shalom shalom from germany 🌷 🌷
Is there anyway that we could possible talk or email about converting. I recently found out through some DNA tests that I’m not actually Jewish, but over the past year and a half that I’ve been discovering it, that spark inside me has ignited.
A Very kind man.
That is beautiful. Im starting to learn about it and im contemplating that possibility. Grateful to have found you.
I'm so interested, myself. As a former Christian who left the church due to division and judgement apart from the holy texts, I wish to be a part of the community. I want to learn. I want to be a part of it. I don't know where to begin, but I will have to find that path. Thank you for your video. It made me feel like I would be welcomed and not some sort of interloper.
Thank you Rabbi for those beautiful words. It takes a lot of courage to meet with a Rabbi and express one’s dreams of converting to Judaism ✡️. The history of the Hebrew people and the Torah given to them bye thee Almighty. It is a absolute privilege and honor to convert to Judaism and be known as part of Israel 🇮🇱. Blessed be His Name!! 🙏🏻
Thanks for this video Rabbi I am trying to convert currently. Totally agree that resistance to possible converts is not a good thing. The Torah from my reading welcomes conversion I believe Abraham was converted himself in Genesis 17. We need more Rabbis like you.x.
Can you tell me how to do that?
Something so special should be hard to obtain because the harder you try the more you learn and the more your heart opens.
Rabbi, would i have to be circumsized again? I was circumsized at a young age? Im interested in converted
With all the loneliness and doubt in our world it is not a surprise that anybody would want to belong to a group that has a rich storied history, in fact to me there seems to be something for every type of disposition which no doubt speaks volumes about how judaism has made it this far, the religions that accept ppl to come as they are, to find others and belong while searching out the quiet voice in the spirit, to be assured it is there by other believers is very comforting. Thanks to the rabbi for being there for others and may everyone who searches for peace find it
Im intrested to convert to judaism. Im from the Philippines. If i converted to judaism, i want to grow judaism in the Philippines particularly in Bangui, Ilocos Norte, Philippines.
Yes I'm interested, I'm a Christians, I'm from Indonesia, I have the plan. I want migrate to South Africa, because The Jews can't be long living in Indonesia, If I have a naturalitation in South Africa, I would convert from Christian to Judaism, because I know only God is Right and Only One!🙏🏿
where do i sign up??
Thank you. First encouraging words I’ve heard. I will continue
I'm so glad I stumbled across this video. I have been studying Judaism for years, and even my wife wants to convert with me after I have shown her everything i know so far. I just wish I was near a synagogue that I could go to for conversion. Soon my wife will be finished with her degree, and we will finally be leaving this State (I live in Missoula, Montana with only one reform synagogue in it, and want to one day make aliyah, so this isn't a possible place to convert). I am now even more excited for the very soon approaching day that I may find a Rabbi like you (I pray) and begin my long anticipated journey into the rest of my life with people like you at its core! Shalom! Thank you!
Converts to Reform can now immigrate to Israel subject to regular attendance at a synagogue.
This is something I have wrestled with for some time. I have had people look at me as if I was a bug to be squashed when inquired about converting. So as a person who is interested in converting feels unwanted or unwelcome. Yet, I want to know more about it.
"Religion began when the first scoundrel met the first fool." -- Voltaire
It's difficult for some folks since their family members may not have the freedom of not working on the Sabbath...
Jewish Prayer is powerful Technology
It's comprehensive insights bring Spiritual manifestation .The Torah has everything concealed within it .I will pray the Nishmath, study Torah, recite the Psalms and daily prayers in Ivri .The Jews have light and Joy , gladness and honor...so be it with us ... I will serve Hashem as a Noachide until I can be sure of regular opportunity/ability /responsibilities to be totally observant in all aspects.
Nice you are with me
And welcome!
How I convert ?
Oh how good it feels when someone actually does really thinking. More power to you.
In the middle of my comversion to conservative and was feeling really down after reading about how the orthodox dont consider us jews. But your friendly demeanor is what i had when i met with the rabbi for the first time thanks for being so accepting😊
Thank you so much. Your video is wonderful. I watch it every few months when I feel that my need to convert to Judaism may be misunderstood. I feel like god has called me to be a part of something so much bigger than myself. I hope one day to be worthy to be a member of the Jewish community. Your you tube channel bring me so much hope. Bless you.
I wish more rabbis had this mentality. Turning someone away three times is like if someone comes up to your doorstep saying he’s your long-lost brother, and you slam the door in his face to see how much crap he’s willing to put up with (to prove he’s really your brother, because a person will usually put up with more crap from family than from a stranger)
The Sages do say that a convert is someone who always had a Jewish soul to begin with, i.e. a lost brother or sister
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I wish I had a Rabbi like you in my area.
wtf i cant find the link its broken,,,
Thank you Rabbi ! Behind you nice, there is a very sensitive and loving person ! I would love to join your community, as Michail DG.
Rabbis like you should be internationally known as mediator on TV.
As an operasinger, I am very sensitive about voices, and your voice is in total resonance with your thoughts and spirit.
Shana tova oumetoukah ! Hatima tovah !
I wish this video was longer. Thank you.
Thank you for this. I've always felt drawn to Judaism and the Jewish community, but I've been scared of talking to a rabbi about conversion because of a negative reaction, but you've given me the confidence to reach out and go through with it
Your words are a Priceless Treasure.... you have No Idea!
Wow, G-d bless you! It felt like you were speaking directly to me. I love studying the Jewish faith.
I can not describe how filled with happiness and pride i am right now:)
I am interested, are the books describing the doings of the prophets and especially the kings available in judaism ? Where can I find the authentic books, I am interested from a historical point of view, and what did the kings do, before the exile to Babylon, and if possible after the exile.
G-d bless you Rabbi, of only other rabbi's have this attitude. I was following the teachings of a rabbi who kept saying no one owes you anything and you'll have to keep proving yourself to be part of a community. I want to serve HaShem not become an idolator by making other people opinion into a golden calf. I also won't impose myself somewhere in not wanted. Fur me the fact that I'm literally leaving everything behind to serve HaShem should be enough confirmation of sincerity.
Why have I not met you? I've trying for eight years. That alone shows my desire. I left Israel about three weeks ago. I was there for three weeks.
My journey is nothing like you have mentioned quite the opposite. Leila Tov
Beautiful and warm video! Thank you.
I really hope the Rabbis in my area are like you, this video has really encouraged me to pluck up my courage and try and speak to one! Thank you so much
I am in the process of converting right now. I dont have to do this, it isnt just that I want to. It is deep inside something I just cant explain. Thank you for understanding us.
