I cried after the first bit. I felt this in the very essence of my being. I grew up Baptist, I dabbled in pagan idolatry and then settled on atheism. It took some serious spiritual awakening and I've begun my journey
I made a formal conversion to Orthodox Judaism almost 50 years to the day that I had a “born-again” experience. My listening to such programs on ‘Jews for Judaism’ and ‘Jewish Outreach’. It is never too late to be “Born-Again” again to a beautiful Torah Life full of HaShem’s Light and Love. Thankyou for your much needed videos!
My journey was quite a bit like your's from Catholicism to Born Again Christian and still unanswered questions. So I went to the Jews and I was not disappointed. I didn't know religion could make sense. I didn't understand why "I" had these questions while other Christians I knew ... didn't. Then came the internet and I knew I wasn't alone. I listened, I learned and I didn't say WHAT??? I said Ahhh. No one had to convince me. No one tried to scare me. No one said I had to convert or perish. As Rabbi Scobac said there isn't a crack between Judaism and Christianity, there is a chasm. I've climbed out of that chasm and I thank Hashem and his chosen for it. I will also be checking out Daniel's channel. Inspiring testimonial. :o)
Boy, can I relate!! Sounds like my journey, except I tried to be Baptist. Didn't work but I did try for a long time. I have doubted just about everything in life, except that G-d is real. Never doubted that at all!
Not a fan of organized religion but if I had to pick one, I'd probably go with Judaism. I like the "fairness" & justice aspect and the whole arguing the Talmud thing. It's one religion that encourages you to use your brain rather than turn it off. I don't know if that goes equally for women but hopefully so.
I'm a very devout Orthodox Christian, but it's really cool what you guys are doing. I really love learning about traditional Jewish culture and theology. Even though I disagree with some of what you say, it's so great to learn to approach the Tanach by looking at it from a Jewish perspective. I find your insights both thoughtful and inspiring. I find myself wanting to serve God more fully, and I've even starting learning Hebrew so I can read and understand the original texts. I've really learned a lot about Judiasm from these videos (and through chabad.org) Keep up the amazing work so that I can keep learning, and growing to understand and appreciate Jewish thought and culture.
I was born into a Babtist family and believe as a Protestant , to a point. I have always felt there should be “ more “ . I have been in need of speaking to a Rabbi. I live in an area that Has no Judaism . Any Suggestions ? At All ? Thanks
Have as a Jew who didn't know she was a Jew until she was 50 been looking for this kind of help for a long time is there a way to get it online,... like a course? I work swing shift, went through homelessness, all seem to not feel my urgency for the last 5-6 YEARS

I relate to this story , I also believe I am one of those souls beeing in a gentile body , I started about a year to convert to Judaism .

"I wanted to be the person who wasn't there for me."
That's exactly the kind of person we need. Someone who actually wants to teach people about God and not turn them away. May HaShem bless you!
I journeyed from conservative Protestantism to Judaism in my young adulthood too. It is inspiring to see that I am not alone
Catholicism to being born again and now a convert to Judaism.
This sounds like me. I used to be Catholic, and now I am going to convert to Judaism.

I was raised Catholic by Polish immigrant parents... recently purchased my first Torah...have been reading and watching Jews for Jewdaism..
Thanks, May HaShem keep giving you long life!
