After first discussing her husband early on in the interview....as the interview went on, she discussed her kids and how she wanted them to be proud of her, etc., she never mentions her husband again. Just wondering if she remained married to him or not? Maybe it wasn't discussed because it was an upbeat heartfelt/heartening interview and maybe if the marriage didn't last, that would have soured the story? Just wondering, especially since he was Jewish and she did the whole conversion thing, and on and on.
I would like to know how, after being raised in Catholic school (I think that’s what she said 🤔), and presumably believing that Jesus is the Messiah, how she came to the conclusion that he isn’t, so that she could convert to Judaism.
@@lisaschlussel4435That’s not true for Sephardim as a whole but more specific to the Syrian and Lebanese kehila by default the Egyptian kehilla many of whom marry amongst themselves in the NY/NJ and Sao Paulo areas. In Israel it’s not even an issue and a ger tzedek is accepted more easily.
Accepting yourself is one of life’s toughest challenges. It’s truly inspiring to see someone who’s made it through that journey and is now moving forward with confidence.
Fellow adoptee and convert here. It's so wonderful to hear stories from so many different people, and to be able to find so much of ourselves in others' journeys. 💜💜
Do you know the Romaniote Minhag are the people who gave the gentiles the New Testament/Gospel. That is because Yeshua Sar HaPanim spoken of every year at Yom Kippur between the blowing of the Shofar is The Jewish Messiah. The world knows Him as Iesus/Isa/Jesus
@silverltc2729 Paul is a false apostle and his message is antithetical to Judaism. However, Rabbi Yahushua (Jesus) turned people back to Torah and worship of the one true elohim. Sad that Christianity has perverted his message. I think you can be Jewish, observe Judaism, and still believe the teachings of Rabbi Yahushua. I do not argue over who the Messiah is though. Everyone will find out at Mt. Zion. It's ultimately about observing the Torah. " The healthy have no need for a doctor" ( The Messiah is the doctor).
@tamarbatyah7 Shalom. Jesus only came for the sick. If you are able to keep all 613 Mizvot then you don't need Him. In the Kaballah Jesus is Adam Kadmon, Metatron and also Israel. You can throw out all of Paul, no problem. But Isaiah 42 says Hashem will go forth as a mighty man and Psalm 2 says you need to kiss the son, lest He be angry. Rambam/Maimonides accepted Jesus as the Messiah. That is why so many Muslims exist today. They ascribe the title of Muhammadim/MHMD that belongs to Jesus with the Jewish Exilarch called Iyas Ibn Qubisah from the Tayaye Tribe.
@@tamarbatyah7 I noticed I addressed your points. Are you content with the notion that 1st century Jews helped spread the Torah through the message of Yeshua to Europe and India?
Wow. As a child of Holocaust survivors I am familiar with looking for roots. I never saw even a picture of my grandparents from both sides, nor of most of my uncles and aunts, and the cousins that were born before the war. When i see people who come from my mother's background...I try to find out if they heard of my grandparents. My mother came from a town but my father came from such a small village that no one would have known...Nomi you are special thank you for sharing!!
Wow, indeed! What a gorgeous young lady! I have been married over 46 years to a former Korean orphan while I was stationed in Korea in the Air Force during 70s. We now have 6 grand kids + a baby girl on the way. Wonderful life story, thank you, guys.
This young lady is stunning, obviously intelligent, relaxed and down to earth, yet naturally poised. She offers valuable insights about a life’s journey and spiritual experience. Thank you.
My mom was a Holocaust survivor and the story about your mom getting together with her family after the war reminded me of my mom's post-Holocaust story. I'm sorry you grew up without your mom and that you were denied your mom's family for so long.
Her beauty is clearly outside but listening to her shows her true beauty shining through. Sounds like a roller coaster but ended with so much family and love!
You must have many more non-Jewish viewers (like myself) if you're now putting footnotes on the screen to explain terms haha!! This channel has the most interesting guests who speak about such thoughtful life experiences.
Wow. Such a beautiful woman inside and out. And so open and confident about her journey. Really appreciate your exposing us to the many neshamos who join our nation. Sp grateful that her experience in a community in EY was so expecting. Wish all jewish communities would know to do so!
Just as a parent doesn't want every kid to be the same, we just want our children to be the best that they can be or at least make the effort. So to, Hashem doesn't want us to be someone else, Hashem wants us to be the best version of ourselves. What a great story, what a great person!
You should interview Meorah Ha-Me’ir. I have been following her journey to Judaism and now to Israel as she documents it on her UA-cam channel which says: Meorah Ha-Me’ir is a Creative Director and Religious Entrepreneur currently serving as the Executive Vice President of the Jerusalem Great Synagogue. As a Korean-American convert, Meorah has been sharing her story, including her conversion to Judaism, growing into religious observance, and embracing life in the Holy Land. She is the founder of Hameorah Creative, a digital & creative agency committed to uplifting the Jewish community.
@@element2138 I googled and found a statement from Meorah: "I appreciate your concern and want to make sure it’s clear that I’ll continue to love and support LGBTQ Jews like all other Jews and that my views on the community are aligned with Torah principles including Ahavat Yisrael."
It seams the father distanced the mother from her family. Maybe has to do with her death. And than went on to distance the children from himself and their family. Scary and sad. A mean father. No wonder it took her so many years to look for her family.
Also adopted, live in Minnesota in the frum area, with 6 lakes to choose for tashlich, but no streams. A minnesotan accent is always funny coming from a frum person- I grew up thinking that only goyim talked that way. 5:47 “tossing” becomes “tah-sing” or “tah-sin”
Wow amazing. I am an American, 64 and I live in Haifa. I was adopted at birth. My birth parents and adopted parents were not Jewish. I converted when I was 16. I met my birth mother when I was 36. My father had already died. I divorced 12 years ago. I have three children. They are in New York however unfortunately we aren't close. My only family is my Father in heaven, however that is what is most important.
I’m so moved. I can relate and while I’m not adopted, I still need to close a loop. I can so relate to holding off on the dna test but in a different way. I get it…
Great interview. Several thoughts 1. This woman is absolutely beautiful, especially for someone near than 50's. 2. It was good to have her speak freely but as the podcast host, you need to ask a few questions. It seems her beauty completely mesmerized you and made you unable to speak. 3. She never really explained why she wanted to convert to Judaism and why then she became an orthodox Jew. 4. What was her husbands job was in Hong Kong and why did he let her go to Los Angeles? As a man, whether you are religious or not, we are NOT interested in having beautiful model girls as just our friends. Don't be so naive.
She is an amazing and inspiring woman. I love how connected and centered she is. I love her philosophy on life. I plan to contact herfor nutrional advice.
Sometimes “unfortunate” things in our lives shape who we are, right or wrong. Her 1st half of her life was about finding a community to belong to. If she found her Korean family sooner, she probably wouldn’t have become a model, met her future husband, started the conversion route, and/or etc. She looks like the typical half/half’s I grew up with: physically gorgeous and torn between 2 cultures. Usually 1 culture wins out.
LUCKY THAT HIS FATHER DID NOT BRING HER BACK TO SOUTH KOREA BECAUSE THAT YEAR THEY DONT ACCEPT INTERRACIAL KIDS SAME STORY WITH JULIUS MANALO HER MOM GAVE HIM UP TO HIS FATHER WHEN THEY GOT DIVORCED BECAUSE SOUTH KOREAN SOCIETY DOESNT WANT INTERRACIAL PEOPLE JUST THIS YEAR 20’s that they have an open minded but the bullying and discrimination are still the same highest in suicide rate after 30 years Julius found her mom u watch there story in “MOM SPRING DAY KOREAN TV SHOW”
Such a beautiful and intelligent chick, thank you Living Lchaim for sharing this most interesting interview with Yisca,💨😂now Nomi,sounds like Naomi or in spanish Noemí.😊👍
She SO doesnt look dif. Youd never think she was even multi ethnic.....not that thats bad but if only notice it bec its known. Maybe shed feel uncomfortable bec shed need more of an Anglo community as opposed to charedi but she def doesnt even look like she wouldnt blend in. Funny shed feel so.
Hello! I took the time to compose a lenghty comment, and it was deleted. Why? Shortened version w/o commentary. Since Nomi was born to Korean parents. Has she had eye surgery to create an ample eye lid?
It might not really be deleted. I just dicovered something about what happens to comments. My comment which was made at the top stays there while I'm on the page. The youtube program makes a duplicate of my comment, exactly as I entered it, but places the duplicate not on the top with the original copy, but down within the 40 or 50 (this video only went live 7 hours ago.) below comments. I'm sure that when i get off the page that the top marquis version will disappear. This suggests that your comment might not have been deleted, but simply moved. Note that the "one word" comments were moved further toward the bottom. Check carefully, I know that first-come first-placed is what we humans look for, but youtube has an exotic and different set of ideas on where it places its comments......
I want the story of the biological dad, far beyond the country genetics. My impression is that she never researched the mom's GI husband. Why did they divorce? Then there is the first step father. Why did he try and keep this girl from her Korean family? Could it be that there was foul play with her mother and the step dad sought to "disappear" the children for fear that they might hold keys to any foul play? Half the story from my standpoint is that no one sought to figure out the nature of the very early action between mom, biological dad, and then step dad........
If I correctly understand your question and her story, the GI who was her mom's first husband is not Nomi's bio dad. Rather, the second husband (who put the kids in foster care and visited with his new girlfriend) is Nomi's father. Hope that helps!
We love Israel we stand with you ,pray for you ,we want you to come to know Jesus as your personal savior,you will never regret it !What can it hurt to try ,just bow your head and ask him to make himself real to you ,,ask him to forgive you and come into your heart ,He will change your life and heal your land
God filters his glory, his infinite Light through different stages of creation, and keeps it in finite vessels. The Sarei haPanim (princes of the Presence) are special angelical forces that are able to stand in the very Presence of HaShem. The 70 names of MemTet correspond to 70 names (attributes) of God - as it is written “my name is in him” - and these correspond to the 70 angelical sparks that emanate from him. But we don’t worship MemTet, nor any of his Sparks, for there are not two powers in Heaven. In light of this, and having Christianity in mind, removing Yeshua from the later versions of the Machzor was an act of Qiddush haShem, in order to prevent what is called “the nurture of the Klipot”. The Nurture of the Klipot has to do with filling empty klipot with sinful negative and idolatrous thoughts, which would cause the sin of creating a molten image of God; i.e an idol (Lv 19:4). We have to make clear that there was a human Yeshua, a real man of flesh and blood, who, according to Yaqov Emden, “did a double good to the world” (cf. Sefer Olam Rabbah vezuta); because he was an observant Jewish Rabbi, not different from the Pharisees, whose main message was that of repentance. His community promoted the Torah observance to the Jews and the observance of the 7 Noahide Laws to the gentiles. And because of him the entire world has been filled with the knowledge of the one true God, and the Jewish concepts of Torah, Messiah, Piety and Mitzvot. He was handed to the Romans and died as a martyr. Then, according to his testimony, experienced the Tekhiat haMetim (the final resurrection) and was raised to the right hand of the Throne of Glory becoming “Sar haPanim”, in the likeness of the verse: “Sit at my right hand” (Psalm 110), hence, being elevated to a level higher than any of the angels, because the “soul” is higher than the “angels”. However, he was betrayed and given to Rome (which is Edom, which is Esav), his very soul was deformed by the Christians who came after him (because Christianity is the religion of Edom, which is Esav). If Yeshua is delivered to Esav, then he is no longer in holiness. As it says: (Gn 25:26) וידו אחזת בעקב עשו ויקרא שמו יעקב “His hand held the heel of Esav and his name was called Yaqov”. Here we have the acronym of “Yeshua” (ישוע ) going from left to right (as judgment comes from the left side). Yeshua is stretched between Yaqov and Esav, and the Ayin of his name falls on the first letter of ‘Esav’ (עשו ). The gematria of the letter Ayin is 70 and stands for the 70 nations of the world (cf. Gn 10). Therefore in Judaism Yeshua lost the ‘Ayin’ and became Yeshu, in the aspect of the Body. Let’s say, for the sake of understanding that he was rejected from the lower world of Assiyah. So now he only represents the right side of the world of Yetzirah and this [angelical force] is called “Yeshua Sar haPanim” [which is what we read in the Machzor], and it controls the 70 [ע] nations of the world only because of their faith in Yeshu. The force Samael [i.e. the force called Satan, who is the angel of Esav] completes him on the left and controls the secular part of the 70 nations. This is in the aspect of Sar haPanim, who have two faces (Sar haPanim can be read as “Prince of two faces”). Thus the Zohar says that Moshe’s staff (in this case representing MemTet) had life in one side and death on the other. Such is the double identity of Yeshu/Yeshua. The Christian version of Yeshua (Yeshu) did all the opposite of what the historical Yeshua came to do. Yeshua the Christian caused the Jews to be slain by the sword, their remnants to be scattered and humbled, the Torah to be altered, and the majority of the world to err and serve a god other than the Lord. On the other hand, no other Rabbi has ever been more influential in the world to cause people to repent and to come under the wings of the Shekhina than the Nazarene, in whose merits thousands of lost sheep of Israel return to the way every single year. Now Yeshua is still fulfilling his role over the 70 nations, as mentioned above. This role has to do with the concept known as “Messiah ben Yosef”. When Adam was in Gan Eden - an almost perfect spiritual reality - he had the duty to “dress it and to keep it” (Gn 2:15), he had to elevate and to transcend something that was already “whole”. Adam was the “Messiah” of Gan Eden. But when he fell, all creation shattered with him. So now Adam has to restore what he destroyed and redeem what he lost before resuming his task of spiritual elevation. The cosmic power in charge of restoring and redeeming is called “Messiah ben Yosef”; who prepares the way for ‘Messiah ben David’, who is in charge of elevating and transcending. In the Vilna Gaon’s school of thought it is explained that MemTet is the angel that represents Messiah ben Yosef: “The Messiah ben Yosef from above is MemTet Sar haPanim, as it is known that Yosef is [a spark incarnation of] MemTet [cf. Shaar haGilgulim 31:7b]. Both of them are from the light of above and from the Sefirah of Yesod, being active in the war against [the spiritual force in charge of destroying the people of God, called] Armilus” (Kol haTor 1:20). It is for this reason that Enoch is called “redeemer of the sins of Adam and helper of your household” (2Enoch 64:5). Eliyahu the prophet in the same manner is supposed to come back before Messiah ben David, to “prepare the way”. He has also the duty of restoration, as it says, “and he will [come to] turn the hearts of the fathers upon the sons” (Malachi 4:5). Eliyahu the Prophet serves the purpose of “spiritually reviving and sustaining [the force called] Messiah ben Yosef, this is because Eliyahu and Messiah ben Yosef share the same soul-root hence Eliyahu is “the fatherly heart” and Messiah ben Yosef “upon the sons”; namely, the Messiah ben Yosef as it is manifested in each generation. Therefore the phrase: “Fatherly heart over the sons” (לב אבות על בנים ) equals in Gematria: “a testimony for Yosef [Yehosef]” (עדות ביהוסף ) = 643 (cf. Kol haTor 2:71). It is in the aspect of Messiah ben Yosef that Yeshua descends to Sheol to testify ‘truth’ to those souls who will be redeemed from Gehenna. We have seen then how the three names mentioned in the Machzor prayer are clearly interconnected in the Aggadah, in the mysticism, in the soul root, in the sefirotic worlds and are part of the redemptive cosmic force known as “Messiah ben Yosef”.

This guy conducting the interview is brutal. Never heard of Marshall Fields (around for a hundred years) or Laverne & Shirley? If you don't know pop culture, hosting a chat show is not the best move.
Marshall Fields closed almost 20 years ago and it wasn't all over the US it was regional. Laverne and Shirley went off the air 40 years ago. I don't know his age so that could impact his knowledge. This is also a Jewish channel and secular pop culture wouldn't necessarily be needed.
@ruthietaylor8756 that wasn't my question. im fully aware of the fact that giyur can be performed on anyone. She just doesn't look Korean at all! Those genes are dominant and even 51% korean or anything mixed in - black, asian etc . makes person to look as such.

The youtube program makes a duplicate of my comment, exactly as I entered it, but places the duplicate not on the top with the original copy, but down within the 40 or 50 (this video only went live 7 hours ago.) below comments. I'm sure that when i get off the page that the top marquis version will disappear. This suggests that your comment might not have been deleted, but simply moved. Note that the "one word" comments were moved further toward the bottom. Check carefully, I know that first-come first-placed is what we humans look for, but youtube has an exotic and different set of ideas on where it places its comments......
I want the story of the biological dad, far beyond the country genetics. My impression is that she never researched the mom's GI husband. Why did they divorce? Then there is the first step father. Why did he try and keep this girl from her Korean family? Could it be that there was foul play with her mother and the step dad sought to "disappear" the children for fear that they might hold keys to any foul play? Half the story from my standpoint is that no one sought to figure out the nature of the very early action between mom, biological dad, and then step dad........
If I correctly understand your question and her story, the GI who was her mom's first husband is not Nomi's bio dad. Rather, the second husband (who put the kids in foster care and visited with his new girlfriend) is Nomi's father. Hope that helps!
We love Israel we stand with you ,pray for you ,we want you to come to know Jesus as your personal savior,you will never regret it !What can it hurt to try ,just bow your head and ask him to make himself real to you ,,ask him to forgive you and come into your heart ,He will change your life and heal your land

God filters his glory, his infinite Light through different stages of creation, and keeps it in finite vessels.
The Sarei haPanim (princes of the Presence) are special angelical forces that are able to stand in the very Presence of HaShem. The 70 names of MemTet correspond to 70 names (attributes) of God - as it is written “my name is in him” - and these correspond to the 70 angelical sparks that emanate from him. But we don’t worship MemTet, nor any of his Sparks, for there are not two powers in Heaven.
In light of this, and having Christianity in mind, removing Yeshua from the later versions of the Machzor was an act of Qiddush haShem, in order to prevent what is called “the nurture of the Klipot”. The Nurture of the Klipot has to do with filling empty klipot with sinful negative and idolatrous thoughts, which would cause the sin of creating a molten image of God; i.e an idol (Lv 19:4). We have to make clear that there was a human Yeshua, a real man of flesh and blood, who, according to Yaqov Emden, “did a double good to the world” (cf. Sefer Olam Rabbah vezuta); because he was an observant Jewish Rabbi, not different from the Pharisees, whose main message was that of repentance. His community promoted the Torah observance to the Jews and the observance of the 7 Noahide Laws to the gentiles. And because of him the entire world has been filled with the knowledge of the one true God, and the Jewish concepts of Torah, Messiah, Piety and Mitzvot. He was handed to the Romans and died as a martyr. Then, according to his testimony, experienced the Tekhiat haMetim (the final resurrection) and was raised to the right hand of the Throne of Glory becoming “Sar haPanim”, in the likeness of the verse: “Sit at my right hand” (Psalm 110), hence, being elevated to a level higher than any of the angels, because the “soul” is higher than the “angels”.
However, he was betrayed and given to Rome (which is Edom, which is Esav), his very soul was deformed by the Christians who came after him (because Christianity is the religion of Edom, which is Esav). If Yeshua is delivered to Esav, then he is no longer in holiness. As it says: (Gn 25:26) וידו אחזת בעקב עשו ויקרא שמו יעקב “His hand held the heel of Esav and his name was called Yaqov”. Here we have the acronym of “Yeshua” (ישוע ) going from left to right (as judgment comes from the left side). Yeshua is stretched between Yaqov and Esav, and the Ayin of his name falls on the first letter of ‘Esav’ (עשו ). The gematria of the letter Ayin is 70 and stands for the 70 nations of the world (cf. Gn 10). Therefore in Judaism Yeshua lost the ‘Ayin’ and became Yeshu, in the aspect of the Body. Let’s say, for the sake of understanding that he was rejected from the lower world of Assiyah. So now he only represents the right side of the world of Yetzirah and this [angelical force] is called “Yeshua Sar haPanim” [which is what we read in the Machzor], and it controls the 70 [ע] nations of the world only because of their faith in Yeshu. The force Samael [i.e. the force called Satan, who is the angel of Esav] completes him on the left and controls the secular part of the 70 nations. This is in the aspect of Sar haPanim, who have two faces (Sar haPanim can be read as “Prince of two faces”). Thus the Zohar says that Moshe’s staff (in this case representing MemTet) had life in one side and death on the other. Such is the double identity of Yeshu/Yeshua. The Christian version of Yeshua (Yeshu) did all the opposite of what the historical Yeshua came to do. Yeshua the Christian caused the Jews to be slain by the sword, their remnants to be scattered and humbled, the Torah to be altered, and the majority of the world to err and serve a god other than the Lord.
On the other hand, no other Rabbi has ever been more influential in the world to cause people to repent and to come under the wings of the Shekhina than the Nazarene, in whose merits thousands of lost sheep of Israel return to the way every single year. Now Yeshua is still fulfilling his role over the 70 nations, as mentioned above.
This role has to do with the concept known as “Messiah ben Yosef”. When Adam was in Gan Eden - an almost perfect spiritual reality - he had the duty to “dress it and to keep it” (Gn 2:15), he had to elevate and to transcend something that was already “whole”. Adam was the “Messiah” of Gan Eden. But when he fell, all creation shattered with him. So now Adam has to restore what he destroyed and redeem what he lost before resuming his task of spiritual elevation. The cosmic power in charge of restoring and redeeming is called “Messiah ben Yosef”; who prepares the way for ‘Messiah ben David’, who is in charge of elevating and transcending.
In the Vilna Gaon’s school of thought it is explained that MemTet is the angel that represents Messiah ben Yosef:
“The Messiah ben Yosef from above is MemTet Sar haPanim, as it is known that Yosef is [a spark incarnation of] MemTet [cf. Shaar haGilgulim 31:7b]. Both of them are from the light of above and from the Sefirah of Yesod, being active in the war against [the spiritual force in charge of destroying the people of God, called] Armilus”
(Kol haTor 1:20).
It is for this reason that Enoch is called “redeemer of the sins of Adam and helper of your household” (2Enoch 64:5). Eliyahu the prophet in the same manner is supposed to come back before Messiah ben David, to “prepare the way”. He has also the duty of restoration, as it says, “and he will [come to] turn the hearts of the fathers upon the sons” (Malachi 4:5). Eliyahu the Prophet serves the purpose of “spiritually reviving and sustaining [the force called] Messiah ben Yosef, this is because Eliyahu and Messiah ben Yosef share the same soul-root hence Eliyahu is “the fatherly heart” and Messiah ben Yosef “upon the sons”; namely, the Messiah ben Yosef as it is manifested in each generation. Therefore the phrase: “Fatherly heart over the sons” (לב אבות על בנים ) equals in Gematria: “a testimony for Yosef [Yehosef]” (עדות ביהוסף ) = 643 (cf. Kol haTor 2:71).
It is in the aspect of Messiah ben Yosef that Yeshua descends to Sheol to testify ‘truth’ to those souls who will be redeemed from Gehenna. We have seen then how the three names mentioned in the Machzor prayer are clearly interconnected in the Aggadah, in the mysticism, in the soul root, in the sefirotic worlds and are part of the redemptive cosmic force known as “Messiah ben Yosef”.

Wow,what's her Instagram acct?
This guy conducting the interview is brutal. Never heard of Marshall Fields (around for a hundred years) or Laverne & Shirley? If you don't know pop culture, hosting a chat show is not the best move.
Orthodox Jews don’t have televisions and exposure to pop culture. The viewership is mostly Orthodox Jews , so the host is just fine.
Cut the man some slack. He is younger. 😊
@@hannahaguirre2972Many Orthodox Jews have TV and are exposed to pop culture. But he is young.
🚫🤡
Marshall Fields closed almost 20 years ago and it wasn't all over the US it was regional. Laverne and Shirley went off the air 40 years ago. I don't know his age so that could impact his knowledge. This is also a Jewish channel and secular pop culture wouldn't necessarily be needed.
I have another root for you....Asian people according to Jewish people are descendant from Abraham..... so now you have completed the cycle.....
Kid doesn’t know Laverne and Shirley! Geez
Stunning.
Hmm..... Maybe hv women doing the women vids? Just saying..... He's a dude.!
There are more people in the room, behind the camera
Who cares...... HE is the one staring at he😂😂r@@beans4853
