Thank you. I had questions after hearing about conversions being invalidated for allegedly small violations of Torah. I now understand more and doubt the stories that I have heard.
There is no way to nullify a halachic conversion. Which is why he correctly stated that when a child is converted and at bar/bat mitzvah age they accept the conversion it can’t be nullified which is the same situation with the convert that he gaslights into thinking that his can be nullified , not only by the beit din that mistreated him but now that convert is under the impression that any Beit din that he meets later in life can invalidate his conversion and make him convert over and over again anytime they want. The Halacha clearly states that one who is converted that had ulterior motives is still a Jew just like the native born. There is no difference. He admits this in the beginning but then goes on to state that he feels justified going against the Halacha because a modern day rabbi Moshe Feinstein decided to for the first time so now that somehow makes it okay for everyone to continue doing it.
Sadly, most people in the world are still idol worshipers. Similarly, most Jews have no problem participating in and in many cases encouraging that behaviour; e.g. InterFaith.
So in one breath you say you cant cancel a conversion because the convert gets a new soul. And then you tell a story about a guy who converted and stopped observing so you cancelled his conversion, null and void.
Really? Torah mentioned many times special mitzvah to love convert. On the other hand, Gemora has a lot of discussions about different property laws that relate to ger.
What the Torah actually says is that there is to be one law for the ger and for the native alike. Gerim includes converts and it includes Gentiles who live by our laws. Either way they have total equality as per the Torah the only caveat being that if the get isn’t circumcised (hence not the convert) they can’t partake of the Pesach sacrifice. But that’s the only difference.
23 Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: [and] not that he should return from his ways, and live? [Eze 18:23 KJV] 18:23 החפץ אחפּץ מות רשׁע נאם אדני יהוה הלוא בּשׁוּבו מדּרכיו וחיה 23 numquid voluntatis meae est mors impii dicit Dominus Deus et non ut convertatur a viis suis et vivat [Eze 18:23 VUL] return . . . בּשׁוּבו . . . convertatur . . . convert means to "turn to or return to YHVH" . . . something is always lost in the translations . . .
The problem with this whole approach is that it’s based on the Kabbalistic teaching that a Jew has a special kind of soul. This is not attested to in the Torah, is possibly heretical and has created huge problems for Jews and the Jewish world. Toss this ‘Jewish soul’ rubbish out the window and you just have pure Torah.
I don't understand why they don't have to prove they followed shevah mitzvos for 5 years + before they're even allowed to have a conversation about the start of the conversion process.
So in other words. If you convert you will never be the same as a born jew , you can't become the messiah and you can't marry a Cohen and able to somewhat loose your status as a jew. Sounds great 😂
no. a jew can not be changed or made into something else... and his/her neshama (נשמה) can not be taken away by anyone but HaShem...converts are exactly the same as a born Jew...
"Jewish in Germany but not in Israel" ! The mikvah is NOT in the Hebrew bible. Ruth did not have an Orthodox conversion. Is King 👑 David not Jewish? So too the Messiah...
God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good? Numbers 23 19
@James Petyrycia, your English is horrible but more horrible is your comment , you should read more about Judaism before to write stupidities about Judaism and Catholicism .

Yes. Once a Jew, always.
Excellent video ! God bless you!
I wish when rabbi says the chazal say he would cite who and whete

Zohar is full of paganism lifted from idolaters
@@fredharvey2720 What? Have you ever read the Zohar? It’s a explanation of Torah.
@@realbillwhite I own it. It contains commentary plus superstitious garbage and supremacist claptrap and was not written by its claimed author.
You don't know an idol worshiper from a matzo ball.
@@danielreiss-cy4zrfunniest comment I've seen in awhile 🤣

Did the rabbi cancel the Guer? Or did the Guer cancel himself by being dishonest?
Reform convention is not a kosher one.
Just orthodox I believe
17:40 . .... Ancient conversions / modern conversions .. ...
yes they are still jewish. rashi said once a jew always a jew
Halachah says to treat the convert like a born Jew. But of course halachah is never followed on matters of conversion anyway...

The SINCERE convert is very special. The Torah says so 36 times. He or she is better than a born jew.
MOST born Jews can't be the Messiah or marry a Cohen either. ... Soooooo , what's your point ?

Hilarious question
"Jewish in Germany but not in Israel" ! The mikvah is NOT in the Hebrew bible. Ruth did not have an Orthodox conversion. Is King 👑 David not Jewish? So too the Messiah...
You will find the Mikvah in Leviticus.
@@AdaraBalabusta For cleansing after menstrual and pregnancy time. Ruth did not have it for a conversion.
@gabrielleangelica1977 what is your proof? You can say it is not written in book of Ruth.
@@srulik666 It's not ANYWHERE but in the man made laws!
@@gabrielleangelica1977 This a statement, not a proof.
But rabbi you are not jewish, you practice rabbinicalism. Who are you to determine who is jewish?
Did you miss the word Halacha in the title?
Did you miss when king David bowed to rabbic authority
Oy vey what type of Christian are you. Which one of the 10 thousand denominations. Let me guess. Your the real one.
Beit Din makes the determination.
No.
A Catholic is more jewish then a Jew! Why The Torah is Part one and Jesus teach is Part two and when Moshiach start teaching is Part three..
No.
@@bfelinemaximus Which part is NO?
