I converted many years ago. It took 5 long years, but was the best thing I have every done. It was difficult. I lost my family and great job opportunities. Today, I have a wonderful family and am blessed. I am stunned how easy it is to convert in America. I have met converts who admit they are only converting because they are married to a Jew and who still maintain ties to their former religion. American Rabbis and rabbinical organisations can do better. As converts, we deserve better.
@@nicholasgeorge2951 yeah I hear ya. I go through similar with some of my family..I have converted over 20 years ago and it still hurts that some of my family is still not supportive..but personally I never had support in alot of things in life from them, but BH I am free to live my life because I am adult and have come to some degree of acceptance of it. I have my mishpaca.. that's all that matters.
I left Christianity 3 years ago. God opened my eyes and now I am learning Torah. I would like to convert. I want to serve HaShem only. I even bought Rabi Tovia Singer” Let’s get Biblical “ I am expecting those books to educate myself and have an answer to whoever will ask me why I left the doctrine that once I thought was the truth. Shalom to everyone. May HaShem the King of the Universe bless you all.🤗😇🙋🏻♀️
I am on a similar path. Only I just left Christianity 6 weeks ago. Rabbi Tovia Singer helped me greatly so I didn’t die in idolatry unknowingly someday.
The prophesies in Daniel continue to unfold and we must endeavour to be on the side of the people of God. Seemingly, the tribulations will only increase and more and more people can only divert from the worship of the Most Holy God of Israel! Im seeking to be Noahide. My prayer for the people of God is to stand their ground and realise their role in this world events!
I’ve been thinking about converting to judaism since I was a 18. It’s been more than 10 years and I keep coming back to this feeling that his is the path for me. This is the year where I finally have the courage to start on the path for myself despite it goes against what my parents want. Wish me luck ❤ May G-d help me on this journey.
I was a Catholic before, then in high school I changed to Baptist. My mom beat the crap atta me…. Now my son wants to convert into Judaism…… I will respect and respect his decision and curiosity…. I think Judaism are safe belief and it’s. The peoples and Judaism contributed to Christianity
@@luedch8460you mean you’re talking about yourself right? If the person is trying to convert and will succeed, fully orthodox and serving HaShem 100%. then he will be one of the holiest people we can find in the world. This is according to the Torah.
It’s been a very long journey for me. Had to fight like my favor Avraham with all the idols and tuma I grew up in avodah Zorah. Like all my mothers Sara,Rivka, Leah and Rochel. BH I am a convert living a full life of Torah in our land Eretz Israel.
I grew up in a Roman Catholic Family, went to parochial school and at age 16 pretty much left the church. I married a Jewish girl,(still now my wife) . I was searching for the total truth my whole life, I became Baptist, and then attended a messianic "synagogue", never filled the void as I saw the goal was to convert my wife ..... , and further research showed me it was basically a Pentecostal charade. I cried out to G-d for clarity, I wanted to not go through life now worshiping the One True G-d. Baruch Hashem... I converted 3 years ago and now want to expand my learning and I now belong to a Reform synagogue but see many shortcomings and doctrines that are contrary to Hashem's Law. I will keep searching , my wife will not attend an Orthodox Temple but I pray we can find us there one day soon. Baruch Hashem.
What do you call an “ Orthodox Temple“ is correctly called an Orthodox synagogue. Remembering this will be a great help to you in studying for your conversion, and gaining it.

Very nice of you! Are you one of those persons who enjoy the written and recorded predictability of the rules which support Judaism or would you kindly enlighten me to your reason for your conversion, IF you are comfortable and will do so. Thank you.
The biggest problem with bread or dough being filling is that because its carbs it actually fuels hunger, and the more carbs you have the more hunger cravings you get. Take alcohol and oil, and put them in a glass and set fire to them. The alcohol burns really fast, but the oil is much more steady and outlasts the alcohol. Carbs are chains of sugar, and when the body burns sugar, it is in effect the same as the alcohol being burnt in a glass. However, if the body is fat adapted, and burns fat instead of glucose, there are no constant hunger cravings as there are when the body uses glucose as its main fuel source. Fat as a fuel source is much more steady just like the oil being burnt
The flour that comes from modern factories is full of terrible things, probably corn starch, which increases hunger. Yemen may be a place where they make their own dough in their back yard.
I’ve been going to Shabbat services for about six months. I can honestly say that I look forward to Shabbat services every week. I can also say I never looked forward to Christian services each week. I tried multiple different Protestant denominations including Catholicism and Eastern Orthodox Christianity. Fundamentally I know the Trinity was a made up lie that the ancient Romans adapted to convert those worshipping Pagan religions in Rome at the time. Same with the adopted holidays of Christianity and Easter. These were only pagan holidays adopted by the Catholic Church. I don’t believe anyone can die for another’s sins and I don’t believe in original sin. Within Judaism, I am finding what makes sense and what is the truth. I don’t know or I will officially ever convert, but I can say I will never entertain the idea of Christianity again. There are good Christians but they have been lied to and don’t even realize it. Christianity is an idol worshipping religion that is fraught with lies and divisions. This is why there are more than 35,000 different Christian denominations. It’s absolutely ridiculous!
ONLY HaSHEM IS ABLE TO MAKE A JEW. ONE IS BORN WITH A JEWISH SOUL . MY FAMILY CULTURE GOES BACK ABOUT 2000 YEARS AGO AS RABBI POINTED OUT TO ME. CHRISTAINS WOULD SAY TO ME YOU ARE A JEW ONLY JEWS DO THAT! WHEN I WAS A VERY YOUNG CHILD A GREAT AUNT FROM EUROPE WHO I ONLY SAW TWICE IN MY LIFE WOULD WISPER IN MY EAR "DONT EVER FORGET YOUR A JEW." WHICH I RECAĹLED DURING CONVERSION. I WOULD BE PLAYING IN THE YARD ALONE AND I WOULD SPEAK HEBREW WORDS WHICH I DID NOT RECOGNIZE UNTIL AT AGE 65 I STARTED ATTENDING SHUL. MY DAD CALLED ME ONE DAY AND SAID YOUR MOM AND I ARE GETTING OLDER THERE IS SOMETHING YOU NEED TO KNOW WE ARE JEWS! SINCE I HAD NO EVIDENCE OF BEING JEWISH I WENT THRU CONVERSION AT RABBIS SUGGESTION. THROUGHOUT MY LIFE I WOULD THINK I MUST CONVERT TO JUDAISM. ALL MY FAMILY IN AUSTRIA PERISHED AT THE NAZIS HANDS. THE MOST DIFFICULT PART OF CONVERSION WAS FORGIVING THE NAZIS AND THAT MY PARENTS OF BLESSED MEMORY NEVER TAUGHT ME HEBREW. WE ARE ALL ON A JOURNEY BACK TO HaSHEM. WHEREVER WE ARE HaSHEM KNOWS WHERE AND WHEN TO REACH OUT TO US AND CALL US TO HIM, THE TORAH AND ISRAEL!!!!! MY 3 FAVORITE MOEDIM ARE: SHABBAT, PURIM AND PASSOVER. I LOVE MY MORNING PRAYER THANKING G-D THAT HIS FAITH RETURNED MY SOUL TO MY BODY. WE LOVE OUR KIPPA, TELLIT, TEFILLIN AND MEZUSAHS ON ALL DOORS AND RANCH GATES EXCEPT THE BATHROOMS HaSHEM BLESS AND KEEP THE HOLY CITY JERUSALEM , ISRAEL AND THE CHILDREN OF ABRAHIM, ISSAC AND JACOB. BLESS US IS OUR PRAYER. SAVE US ALL IN THE GREAT REDEEMPTION. PLEASE REMEMBER ME TOO LOVING HaSHEM! L'CHAIM SHALOM
Shalom, thank you again for a great shiur! Our shull doesn't appreciate the converts. Only very few does. The main rabbi is modern orthodox and you can guess the quality of his teachings: he taught to converts that there's no Gehinnom. The older the converts are, the more he pushes them away. He prolongs the conversions for years to those who are really serious. But young girls he accepts very quickly. No wonder he got Corona virus lately. Baruch Hashem, he recovered but looks like he has not changed his ways with converts. Sorry darling Ashkenazim, but I can't help it: I'm more interested in the Sefardim 😀🌴 Ashkenazim pray too fast for me.... The Birkat hamazon is so fast that I have to always lift up my hands in the air! At home I can pray leat-leat 😅 SLOWLY
Is there such thing as apostasy in orthodox judaism? For example, if an atheist has a jewish mother, is he considered a Jew or a gentile by consensus of the orthodox rabbis?
Jewish atheists according to jewish law are like gentiles, and not part of the nation of Israel, however if they want to become a religious jew they won't need conversion since they are biologically jewish
If your mother is a Jew then you were born a Jew! No need to convert .. you just need to have a good loving Rabbi leader to go after. Depending on where you live I recommend going to chabad they are international...
He is spiritually cut from the Nation, he cannot read the Torah in the Beit Knesset, etc... But, if he leaves this world without making teshuvah, he will still be punished like a Jew (for not doing what a Jew is supposed to do).
Did you forget the history of Jerusalem? There always been a Jewish community in Israel their ancestral home. The Romans destroyed the temple and wanted expelled the Jews and took them as slaves to Europe. The Roman Empire tried to make the Jews forget about their homeland and they changed the name from Israel to Palestine! And since then the Jews people always cried to have their country. After Hitler Holocaust the UN allowed the Jews to have their own country. A bit of history goes a long way to understand the recent troubles. AM ISRAEL CHAI!
The water of all the oceans can not extinct the fire of the righteous convert not the Himalayan mountains with all the demigods can stopthe holly breath of the new born.
The Great I Am That I Am didn't create Jewish converts, esau mating with a canaanite woman created this madness,TMH created GENTILES converted who don't come from the bloodline of Ham. Genesis 36 King James Version 36 Now these are the generations of Esau, who is Edom. 2 Esau took his wives of the daughters of Canaan; Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite; 3 And Bashemath Ishmael's daughter, sister of Nebajoth. 4 And Adah bare to Esau Eliphaz; and Bashemath bare Reuel; 5 And Aholibamah bare Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah: these are the sons of Esau, which were born unto him in the land of Canaan...... These are the enemies of God, just because they change the spelling of the name dosen't mean we (Gods Chosen) won't spot it. Devils
DARLING ONLY G-D IS ABLE TO CREATE A JEWISH SOUL, A JEW. ALL REAL JEWS OR JEWISH SOULS WERE AT MT. SINAI WHEN HaSHEM PRESENTED THE TORAH TO OUR PEOPLE. LET HIM SORT IT OUT. HE KNOWS WHOSE WHO. INCLUDING THE EREV RAV. SHALOM EVEN SO MOSIACH COME QUICKLY.

Is there such thing as apostasy in orthodox judaism?
For example, if an atheist has a jewish mother, is he considered a Jew or a gentile by consensus of the orthodox rabbis?

2 Esau took his wives of the daughters of Canaan; Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite;
3 And Bashemath Ishmael's daughter, sister of Nebajoth.
4 And Adah bare to Esau Eliphaz; and Bashemath bare Reuel;
5 And Aholibamah bare Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah: these are the sons of Esau, which were born unto him in the land of Canaan...... These are the enemies of God, just because they change the spelling of the name dosen't mean we (Gods Chosen) won't spot it. Devils
DARLING ONLY G-D IS ABLE TO CREATE A JEWISH SOUL, A JEW. ALL REAL JEWS OR JEWISH SOULS WERE AT MT. SINAI WHEN HaSHEM PRESENTED THE TORAH TO OUR PEOPLE. LET HIM SORT IT OUT. HE KNOWS WHOSE WHO. INCLUDING THE EREV RAV.
