- Jewish Convert//Convert to Judaism/Conversion/How to Convert/Conversion Process
In this video, I am sharing the story of how I left Christianity/the Church and became a convert to Orthodox Judaism. This journey spanned several years, and wasn't always smooth, but I can say it was one of the most fulfilling things I ever did, and I have no regrets. :)

I am currently converting and I grew up a Christian as well and even worked in ministry. I never thought I'd find religion but Judaism isnt just religion, its culture; a way of being. And I like that. Then I found out my great great grandmother was jewish and it just all made sense.
That's beautiful, Stephanie, thank you for sharing! I agree with you about Judaism, it's not religion the way people think of it. How did you find out about your great great grandmother? 🤗
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.
He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”
Jesus (Yeshua) died on the cross, was buried, and ROSE on the 3rd day and DEFEATED DEATH so that none of us had to go to hell🙏🏽
Accept the FREE GIFT that of salvation before it is too late.
Religious works and “good works” alone cannot get you to heaven. God is holy and His word says “Without holiness no one will see the Lord”
You can claim to be “holy” but it is INWARD and OUTWARD holiness! Those who are deceived in thinking otherwise will fall short!
We are called to be set apart in ALL ways, even by looks. If you walk in a worldly setting and blend in know are lukewarm
I'm the opposite. I was raised Jewish and I have converted to Christianity.
Best decision ever.
Please do not confuse us with catholics.
Catholic and Christian are not even remotely the same thing.
@@Mr-pn2eh Ive been a Christian all my life and an ordained minister. Im very clear. We have to choose what path is right for us. But I do hate that if you find Christianity right for you that you feel the need to come to this lady's video... Its disrespectful to culture and religion. And its one thing I highly dislike about Christianity.
What exactly makes sense that didn’t before?
One of my favorite liturgical lines is: “behold, my torah. Do not forsake it. It is a tree of life to those who hold fast to it.”
Yes, also in the Alenu prayer, "It (the Torah) is a tree of life to those who hold onto it, and those who support it are praiseworthy. It's ways are ways of pleasantness and all it's pathways are peace."
There is many beautiful prayers. 😊
@@jayellealafi5797 You need to read a book titled ''God Man The Word Made Flesh." There is no Vicarious Salvation. But. There is a Science behind... The salvation of the "SOUL."
Look up the autobiography Within Heaven's Gates by Rebecca Springer 😇
The talmud forsakes the torah.
@@jazzpote4316 Oh? And from what source did you learn this fascinating tidbit?
I converted over 40 years ago it was not easy in England at that time ,the bet din had me wate 5 years till they would do the conversion. But b,h.today over 40 years later later lead a complete Jewish hasdic life in Jerusalem, with my 8 children and 13 grandchildren I thank hasem every day that I went through all the hard times to be who I am today ,thank you for your channel and may g_d continue to give much blessings in your life and nucas from your children koll tov , and gratings from Israel.
Peter, thank you so much for sharing, such a beautiful comment!💗
It's our dream as well to make Aliyah at some point. 😊
From darkness to a darkness. No progress made .
Lucky. I am hopefully headed the same way
@@CatyBelek😂😂😂😂 you belive in nothing whonis the looser
@@CatyBelek Obey the Noahide laws.
Welcome home. You actually always had a Jewish soul. Great and inspiring story about your Jewish journey
Thank you! 😊 Glad you enjoyed it.
For some reason you brought tears to my eyes.
People have no idea what a Ger has to go through and endure the abuse from some communities who mistreating converts.
@@robertbokke Im sorry you had that experience. I belong to 3 synagogues (2 orthodox & 1 conservative) and without exception every Jew by choice (and there are many) is treated as though they were a Jew by birth. In fact most forget that they are Jews by choice
@@robertbokke That is utter bullshit. You're trying to suit some sort of agenda you have by saying that. While it is extremely hard to convert, but those that have been able to go through the process are typically welcomes with open arms throughout the conversion process. I know that from personal experience. My brother's wife converted and I saw how she was fully accepted .
Noachide here. Your story is very uplifting, Jayelle. Toda raba.
There is no salvation in rejecting the prophesied Jewish Messiah.
Baruch HaShem! Yay, Andrew!
Hi Jayelle! I also converted from evangelical Christianity to Judaism and entertain a youtube channel dedicated to the subject, in Portuguese language. Shabat Shalom
Hi, so nice to hear, and you should go for it! 🤗
There is a proverb in Portugal that says if you want to know what a Jew looks like just look in the mirror:)
@@dawnoftherainbow8500 Well there was a tone time, a lot of Jewish on the Iberian Peninsula before the Inquisition and to this day there are many Jews there that have no idea of their Jewish roots. Some do though, and are returning to them.
Shabbat shalom from kenya
😊
I found this very informative. My wife and I attended a messianic congregation for a number of years and I have to agree with your general feeling about it. Ultimately, my sense was that these people were more in love with converting Jews than loving the Jews themselves. I also feel that there is a space in this question of conversion that is generally overlooked which is simply that a non-Jew can enjoy the blessings of HaShem in being observant without actually becoming a Jew from a halachic position. I observe shabbat and attend a conservative shul without converting for a number of reasons mainly having to do with my age, having spent most of my life as a Christian and not wanting to cut myself off from grandchildren and other family. Ultimately, it is not about being a Christian or a Jew from a legal standpoint but one's relationship to God that matters.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! You're absolutely right, there is no need for one to convert to Judaism and it won't be the right path for many/most people. I'm not here to persuade people, only to share my story and what I've learned. 😊
Jews believe that there is a path to G-d for the righteous gentile as well, that is just as legitimate, it is not about becoming Jewish.💗
I imagine that you are following the Noachide laws which is great!
I pray that you will see what we saw. That Jesus is Savior and Redeemer.. one with the Father and Holy Spirit. The *Bible is not a series of disconnected stories.* It is a *single narrative in which every story, every character* points beyond itself to *one who is greater.*
The story of Adam and Eve is not just about the first man and woman... *there is a true and better Adam* who passed the test in the garden and whose obedience is ascribed to us.
*There is a true and better Abel* who, though innocently slain, has blood that cries out, not for our condemnation, but for our acquittal.
*There is a true and better Abraham* who answered the call of God to leave all the comfortable and familiar and go out into the void to create a new people of God.
*There is a true and better Isaac,* the son of laughter, of grace, who was not just offered up by his father on the mount but was truly sacrificed for us all.
*There is a true and better Jacob* who wrestled and took the blow of justice we deserved, so we, like Jacob, only receive the wounds of grace that wake us up and discipline us.
*There is a true and better Joseph* who, at the right hand of the king, forgives those who betrayed and sold him and uses his new power to save them.
*There is a true and better Moses* who stands in the gap between the people and the Lord and who mediates a new covenant.
*There is a true and better Rock of Moses* who, struck with the rod of God’s justice, now gives us water in the desert.
*There is a true and better Job,* the truly innocent sufferer, who then intercedes for and saves his foolish friends.
*There is a true and better David* whose victory becomes his people’s victory, though they never lifted a stone to accomplish it themselves.
*There is a true and better Esther* who didn’t just risk losing an earthly palace but lost the ultimate heavenly one, who didn’t just risk his life, but gave his life to save his people.
*There is a true and better Jonah* who was cast out into the storm so that we could be brought in.
*There is a true and better Passover Lamb,* innocent, perfect, helpless, slain so the angel of death will pass over us. He’s the *true Temple,* the *true Prophet,* the *true High-Priest,* the *true King,* the *true Sacrifice,* the *true Lamb,* the *true Light,* and the *true Bread.*
The Bible is not a series of disconnected stories. It is a single narrative that points to one person... *Jesus.*
*JESUS IS GOD.. A plain prophet cannot fulfill all this prophecy. JESUS IS THE LORD AND SAVIOR.*
You are reading Torah/Tannah (OLD TESTAMENT) but you are hardening your heart to this truth. Why? Please have an open heart for the truth.
@@gilyashar My point was that there is another spiritual space available to people other than becoming a Jew or simply following the Noachide laws. A gentile can experience the spirit of God and the spiritual blessings of Shabbat, the wisdom of studying Torah and other benefits that Jews can also experience without converting This is something that was commonplace in the ancient world where many gentiles attended Jewish synagogues, were observant to a limited extent and were also accepted by the Jewish community. This is something that has been lost because of the separation of Christian and Jew that has developed over the centuries.
@@Armuandist czcams.com/video/PT6xFdQMF6E/video.html
It’s disgusting how much hate you get on here from “Christians”. But BH because he has great compassion to give us the strength to overcome the harsh words and much more!
I also love Rabbi Singer !
Rabbi Singer will send you straight to hell.
I think you hit it on the nail when you said *What is Judaism without Torah and Mitzvot*. That's something to really think about. Thank you.
Emes….it’s just ….culture then
Hi Tinokshenishba, I didn't mean to get super philosophical there or anything, it's just something that I ponder now and again. 🤗
I recently saw this interview of the Israeli Ambassador to the US, talking about Israel and the justifications for it, (I'm pro-Israel, don't get me wrong) but with scarcely any mention of Judaism/Torah/the fact that G-d himself gave that land to Avraham and his descendants. I found it thought provoking, maybe a little sad.
Yashar Kocheich!
@@jayellealafi5797 Yet I assure you that Conservative Judaism, Reform Judaism, Reconstructionist Judaism, and so on are just as "real" as Orthodox Judaism, so please give them credit for their interpretations--not abandonment--of Torah.
@@meltzerboy what exactly makes an interpretation of Torah legitimate if it also denies the divine source?
As a Jew, a yeshiva boy, you reminded me what a gift I got . Thanks a lot 👐🏻
You're welcome! 😊
@@jayellealafi5797 Why didnt you look into ISLAM the religion of Moses(peace be upon him),Jesus(peace be upon him),Muhammad(peace be upon him)?????...
@@letsknow1491 Why didn't YOU look into the REAL religion of MOSHE, the ORIGINAL BIBLE of the actual ISRAELITES?
@@letsknow1491 Christians leave Jesus (peace not be upon the bringer of wars) when they find out he wasn't the promised Jewish Messiah, c'mon you should've already known that haven't you??
The only Prophecy Jesus might've been close to fulfill was the Prophecy of a humble man riding a donkey, but the problem is: Was Jesus HUMBLE!?
(Matthew 11:29-30)
"29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
(Matthew 12:1-8)
"At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn and to eat.
2 But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.
3 But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;
4 How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests?
5 Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?
6 But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple.
7 But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.
8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day."
(Matthew 12:38-42)
"38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
42 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here."
Well at least was he riding a donkey??
Depends on the Gospel, according to the Gospel of Matthew he wasn't:
(Matthew 21:1-8)
"And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,
2 Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me.
3 And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.
4 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,
5 Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.
6 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,
7 And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon.
8 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way."
Well maybe at least he fulfilled the following parts of the prophecy!? (Cuz you know.. every prophecy has a following part)
(Zechariah 9:9-17)
"9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass." - A HUMBLE man riding A DONKEY (Aside of the poetic expression of two donkeys)
"10 And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off: and he shall speak peace unto the heathen: and his dominion shall be from sea even to sea, and from the river even to the ends of the earth.
11 As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.
12 Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even to day do I declare that I will render double unto thee;
13 When I have bent Judah for me, filled the bow with Ephraim, and raised up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and made thee as the sword of a mighty man.
14 And the Lord shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning: and the Lord God shall blow the trumpet, and shall go with whirlwinds of the south.
15 The Lord of hosts shall defend them; and they shall devour, and subdue with sling stones; and they shall drink, and make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like bowls, and as the corners of the altar.
16 And the Lord their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people: for they shall be as the stones of a crown, lifted up as an ensign upon his land.
17 For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! corn shall make the young men cheerful, and new wine the maids." - And BRINGS UNIVERSAL PEACE
I mean there's a lotta new testament verses in which JC clearly states that he came to bring wars and division between brothers and sisters, one hating his own wife and children - mother and father, and commanding his disciples (Through a parable) to 'Slaugther' all of his opposers, but that's quite the basis..
@@1995yuda first of all im in the original religion of MOSHE i.e ISLAM(submission to the will of God) by following Muhammad(peace be upon him).ISLAM is not only the religion Muhammad(peace be upon him) but all the prophets like Adam,Noha,Lut,Solomon,Israel,David,Abraham,MOSES,Jesus,Muhammad(peace be upon them all) and many more prophets whom God sent to this world.This religion of God is completed by the last and final messenger of God i.e Muhammad(peace be upon him).
2.Im not a Israelite to follow judaism.Moses was sent only to the lordship of Israel not for the humanity.
3.There are other prophets like Jesus and Muhammad(peace bw upon them all) whom you people disagree with without any justification.Becuase Jesus and Muhammad(peace be upon them all) are also sent by the same God who sent Moses(peace be upon him).
4.Suppose if you are in the time of Abraham (peace be upon him)you cannot follow Lut (peace be upon him) at that time.You have to follow Abraham(peace be upon him) only.Likewise you have to follow Muhammad(peace be upon him) now becuase he was sent for the whole humanity.
5.Does Torah which you have today is from the time of Moses(peace be upon him) without any corruption????If so evidence please.I cannot base my belief based on some book which has no authenticity.
I was homeschooled too! 1st-12th grades and while I regret being raised somewhat adjacent to Messianic Christianity, I don't regret my homeschool education. It gave me the critical thinking skills I needed to question Christianity and convert to Judaism!
Me too! Right through 12th grade, and then I did a high school equivalency test to get a diploma for college entrance, but decided on trade school instead.
My mom is some kind of superhero, I don't know how she did it. 😂

You are reading Torah/Tannah (OLD TESTAMENT) but you are hardening your heart to this truth. Why? Please have an open heart for the truth.
There is the ONLY TESTAMENT and NOT the old testament. But if you choose to be saved by a man, so be it for you.
Albeit is not sure that Jesus will embrace you by making him a God.He did not seek glory for himself.
You may have the surprize to be told:
Matthew 7:21. "Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ 23Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness!’@@Armuandist
Beautiful story. I think you’ve inspired me to make my own video. I have yet to begin conversion classes. I’m waiting on my application to go through so maybe in a little while, but I’m gonna start writing. Gut Shabbas to you and your husband!
Thank you, you should! Good for you for pursuing Truth, best of luck! 😊
Look up the autobiography Within Heaven's Gates by Rebecca Springer 😇
Good Shabbas how goes it?
That’s exactly why I became religious. I thought: “so many people died to stay Jewish and I’m going to complain about not being able to eat bacon.” Now, I have a lot more reason to stay religious, of course.
That's so nice to hear! I didn't eat bacon even before my conversion, so that wasn't an issue for me, but kosher overall has been a lot to learn. 😅
I dont eat pork either. I am a oneness pentecostal. I respect your decision. I had a hard time with the trinity myself.
@@jayellealafi5797 I am only towards the beginning of your video but you can't reject Christianity from the basis of those 3 you mentioned thinking its solved where you went. I can respond to all of those. Many of the early believers were Jewish and you have to look to 2nd temple period instead of today's rabbinic arguments.
@@jayellealafi5797 Dr. Benjamin D. Sommer, Professor of Bible and Ancient Semitic Languages at the Jewish Theological Seminary, wrote the following in his book "Bodies of God and the world of Ancient Israel":
“Some Jews regard Christianity’s claim to be a monotheistic religion with grave suspicion, both because of the doctrine of the trinity (how can three equal one?) and because of Christianity’s core belief that God took bodily form. . . . No Jew sensitive to Judaism’s own classical sources, however, can fault the theological model Christianity employs when it avows belief in a God who has an earthly body as well as a Holy Spirit and a heavenly manifestation, for that model, we have seen, is a perfectly Jewish one. A religion whose scripture contains the fluidity traditions [referring to God appearing in bodily form in the Tanakh], whose teachings emphasize the multiplicity of the shekhinah, and whose thinkers speak of the sephirot does not differ in its theological essentials from a religion that adores the triune God.”
Be it known:
Through the Holy Spirit, God has put it on me to preach to those lost in the devil's deceit!
I tell ye, truly, Jesus of Nazareth is the propitiation for the whole world's sins. He is the anointed one, for he is, Jesus Christ. God the Father has raised him from the dead; who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God! Angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.
Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life: no one comes to the Father, but by him. They who believe and are baptized with the Holy Spirit shall be saved; but they who believe not shall be damned. For they who believe not on him, shall die in their sins!
I tell ye now to repent of your sins, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and you'll receive the gift of the Holy Spirit upon asking the Father!
There are *NO* sub-divisions of Christianity. You're either a disciple of Christ or not. A Christian is someone who follows God's word, not a religion. Who obey the Father and follow his will; not man's nor their own heart's. Unless you keep Jesus' commandments, think not the Holy Spirit will dwell within you!
They who heed this message and did what was stated with an open heart to God...
Read the Holy Bible (KJV) daily and every time before you read, pray to the Father and ask:
"Lord I ask that you give me understanding of your word, that I interpret it the way you want me to, and none of my own. I ask you in Jesus' name, amen."
1 John 2:2 KJV
2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
Acts 13:26-33 KJV
26 Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, *and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.*
27 *For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.*
28 And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain.
29 *And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.*
30 *But God raised him from the dead:*
31 And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.
32 *And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,*
33 God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
1 Peter 3:22 KJV
22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.
John 14:6 KJV
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Mark 16:16 KJV
16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
John 8:24 KJV
24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
Acts 2:38 KJV
38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Luke 11:13 KJV
13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
John 14:21-24 KJV
21 *He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.*
22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
23 Jesus answered and said unto him, *If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.*
24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and *the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.*
Amazing! As a born jewish ortodox observant woman, I really enjoyed it
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Thanks for this. My father is a devot Christian, and I grew up like that. Around 11, I started questioning my faith. I got seriously yelled at for it. He was shocked. But that was a few years ago. For the past few years I've just been nothing, I didn't go to any church. But now I want something like that, and I realized Christianity just isn't for me. I've been learning more and more. I want to learn more about Judaism. I'm not saying I'll convert, but I'm seriously considering it. Thank you so much!
I hear you, it can be a rough journey at times. Just so you know, Judaism doesn't hold that everyone must convert and they don't seek or even encourage converts.
Torah however is for everyone. There is universal religion for non-jews that doesn't have nearly the awareness that it should, and I've linked a good video here that might help you find your way.

And if you insist in converting to Judaism knowing the information that is clear as day-to see
You shall never enter my home or my presents for your new belief
Is 100% apposed to any Cristian belief
And I would say to all Cristian out there read the Talmud before you think of any conversion to Judaism
Be clear on your choice that you make let their be no surprises
And be a wear of what your are doing. In your conversion to Judaism

Thank you so much for sharing! As an Orthodox girl it really gave me Chizuk!
Loved the skit🤭👍
Hi Chana, that's awesome, I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 🤗
Mazel Tov. Welcome aboard! So inspiring!! Keep on growing with your whole family!!!
Thank you so much! IyH. 😊
Hi , thank you.
You are a very holy woman.Both Jewish and non Jewish listeners have what to learn from your knowledge, clarity, honesty and modesty. G-d should bless you and family with all that your pure hearts desire.
Thank you! That's very sweet of you. 😊
I would love to hear more about your conversion process. Thank you for sharing.
Okay! Thank you for watching, and commenting! 🤗
Boy Satan is really deceiving people in the last days trying to turn them away from Jesus as fast as they can because he's about ready to return that's why Satan wants to take as many to hell as he possibly can cuz he knows he's a loser
I'm actually beginning my path to conversion right now (meeting with a rabbi I hope will become my sponsoring rabbi tomorrow!) and I just love hearing stories of how other converts came to realize that they wanted to follow this path. I didn't know much of anything about Judaism when I was growing up and only really began to do any research and self-education on it when I found out that two of my best friends in high school were Jewish. Ever since then, I've felt such a strong magnetic pull towards and comfort in Judaism that I never found in Christianity or any other religion I learned about. I'm immensely glad now to have a nearby Jewish community in college where I can finally pursue conversion and further education. :)
Look up the autobiography Within Heaven's Gates by Rebecca Springer.😇
I heard this story before, listen the choice that you are making is one that will make you ended up in the lake of fire! don't you know that Jesus is the Messiah of the Old Testament! how can you reject the Gift Of God!!!
hello, i am a teenager who has spent a while questioning my faith, and i really believe that judaism is the right path for me to follow, i am trying to research more about the religion and this video really helped me understand more & gave me more insight to converting and also realise that i am not the only one on this path, so thank you very much!
I am so happy to hear that my video was a help to you!
And good for you, to be so young, but deeply questioning.
I feel the same way when I hear about people that have walked/are walking down this path in life, I find it inspiring and encouraging!
If there's any way I can help you, if you have more questions that I can help answer, please let me know. I'm here for you. 😊💗
You are definitely on the right path and anything you need to move forward on this path, just please ask.
Christianity is a big fraud and Evil, is why I left Christianity because of its nonsense and Idolatry, now I just follow the laws of G-d for gentiles.
In the new testament literature, Jesus goes upto the Fig tree expecting to eat Figs but the Fig tree doesn't have any Figs because it's not blooming season for the Fig tree, so Jesus kicks the tree and curses the Fig tree because it doesn't have figs, is this your G-d? - a G-d that doesn't even remember when he himself decreed that the Fig will give its fruit - is this who your counting on saving you.
In this end of days verse , there's no mention of a Jesus, Christians better wake up and wake up Fast lest you be part of what's coming 👇
8And it shall come to pass throughout all the land, says the Lord, two parts of it shall be cut off. They shall perish, and the third shall remain therein. חוְהָיָ֚ה בְכָל־הָאָ֙רֶץ֙ נְאֻם־יְהֹוָ֔ה פִּֽי־שְׁנַ֣יִם בָּ֔הּ יִכָּֽרְת֖וּ יִגְוָ֑עוּ וְהַשְּׁלִשִׁ֖ית יִוָּ֥תֶר בָּֽהּ:9And I will bring the third in fire; and I will refine them as one refines silver, and I will test them as one tests gold. He shall call in My name, and I will respond to him. I said, "He is My people"; and he shall say, "The Lord is my God."
G-d has never replace the Jewish people 👇
Psalm 105:8-11
He has remembered His covenant forever,
The word which He commanded to a thousand generations,
The covenant which He made with Abraham,
And His oath to Isaac.
Then He confirmed it to Jacob for a statute,
To Israel for eternity.
Deuteronomy 7:9
Know therefore that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God, who keeps His covenant and His lovingkindness to a thousandth generation with those who love Him and keep His commandments.
Deuteronomy 7:12
“Then it shall come about, because you listen to these judgments and keep and do them, that the Lord your God will keep with you His covenant and His lovingkindness which He swore to your forefathers.
Judges 2:1
Now the angel of the Lord came up from Gilgal to Bochim. And he said, “I brought you up out of Egypt and led you into the land which I have sworn to your fathers; and I said, ‘I will never break My covenant with you,
Why dont you look into ISLAM the religion of Moses(peace be upon him),Jesus(peace be upon him),Muhammad(peace be upon him)?????...
@@letsknow1491 i have looked into islam, i studied it a lot in school and i have many muslim friends who tell me a lot about it; i think it’s a beautiful religion but it’s not necessarily what my beliefs align with.
@@gmc19 . @нів Thank you for your opinion about ISLAM.But i have something yo tell you.
Your belief should only align with the religion of almighty God.You cannot base your salvation on your personal belief.why do you believe that your belief doesnt align with ISLAM?
Is the Judaism present today is from the time of Moses???Why did you giveup jesus(peace be upon him) and Muhammad(peace be upon him) in your belief???
If suppose think there was a group who believed in Abraham(peace be upon him) religion today would you have believed in it????
We need to follow the last and final messenger of God Muhammad(peace be upon him) today because he is the one who sent for this generation .If you were at the time of Abraham(peace be upon him) you should follow him alone.You cannot follow lut(peace be upon him) at that time.
You should always go forward not backward interms of messengers.This is what the truth dear.
Once again i ask you is the religion of judaism which we have today is from Moses(peace be upon him).If there was Moses(peace be upon him) today he would have asked you to follow Muhammaf(peace be upon him).
You may feel offended but dear its the matter of your salvation.So choose the TRUE PATH of almighty GOD.
Shalom! In 1 week, on 30 Sivan (day before Rosh Chodesh Adar,) I will be meeting with the beis din for my conversion. I have been on the journey of conversion for about 5 years, learning for 3 years on my own, and 2 years with my beloved Rabbi, Menachem Rivken. I am excited, and afraid at the same time. I am greatly looking forward to starting my journey; towards accomplishing the mission Hashem gave me to do in this world. Hearing your story is beneficial, and helps give me consolation that I am not alone in my journey. May you be blessed, and enjoy many many years of life with simchas!
Avraham, mazal tov, how did it go?!
Welcome, you are definitely not alone. 😊
@@jayellealafi5797 It was amazing and went wonderfully! I got on a plane Monday and stayed overnight in a hotel, and the next morning close to 8:30am, I was taken underneath the shul to their mikveh for brit dam and immersion. I most definitely emerged a new person from the water, and my journey as a Yid has only just begun. It is an honor to be a part of klal Yisrael!
Mazal tov!!! Welcome to the tribe!
May this new life bring you joy and revealed goodness!
@@AvrahamWright welcome to the tribe and Hodesh Tov!
I love this video so much! You are a real chassid in your love for Judaism and all Jews. This was SO well organized and you had your sources ready to back up everything you said about Christianity and its history of antisemitism and the differences between Judaism and Christianity. You've always been Jewish, and I am so glad you found your way back to the tribe via conversion.
Thank you for this lovely comment! It was my pleasure, truly. 🤗
Look up the autobiography Within Heaven's Gates by Rebecca Springer 😇
I have decided to study Judaism at a synagogue. Not sure if I want to convert, but Jewish teachings are helping me deal with depression.
Good for you, I am happy to hear that! I hope you will feel better soon.😊
It’s not like picking a flavor and liking it and becoming it’s so demeaning when people suggest Judaism is some fun flavor to choose from
Thank you so much for posting these videos! I'm beginning my religious journey and I am so grateful I found you❤
Welcome! It's my pleasure. 😊
What a beautiful story. Thank you for sharing!
You're welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😊
I presume you were ready for the onslaught of Christian proselytizers. At least I hope you were. My boyfriend was Jewish and I thought he was an excellent, upstanding man with good morals and a kind heart -- a mensch. He inspired me to look deeper into Judaism on my own. I was raised a Lutheran but never really "bought it." As I explored Judaism, I found it made a lot more sense to me. It struck a chord. I converted. About a year later, my then-boyfriend proposed to me and we got married under a chuppah. That was about 27 years ago. May you have a long, fruitful life and a happy, peaceful marriage. Don't listen to those who would further the lies you heard growing up. Be confident you have chosen the right path.
I love your comment, Patricia, thank you! And thank you for sharing a bit of your story! It's so nice to hear of others who have chosen a similar path. I do not have any regrets and I know it was the right path for me. 💗
I was ready. 😊
Wow Patricia that is amazing.
I am very grateful for you. Because this is the path I am down. And this really helps. Thank you for sharing!
Wonderful! Glad it was helpful! 🤗💗
I love the clarity you have!
Fascinating. Good for you. Welcome to the tribe. ❤️
My only suggestion is that you explain terminology to your viewers. Many people don’t know terms like Chabad, Tanach or tefillin.
Hi Leann, thank you! That's a good suggestion! 😊
I just found you on CZcams, and I love your videos. I am finding my roots, I’m from Eastern Europe. Thank you and I’m looking forward to watching them all and following you! 💕
Wonderful! Welcome! 🤗💕
Baruk Hashem! Thanks for shairing. Looking forward to more videos.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for making this video. You did an excellent job explaining the difference between Christianity and Judaism.
You're welcome, I did my best, haha. 😁 Glad you enjoyed it!
I have been studying about Judaism for the past couple of years because once I started to really dive deeper into my Catholic faith, it felt completely wrong. I've known and felt this since I was a child, I've always had questions that my Catholic upbringing couldn't answer. I am furthering my studies and want to begin to taking the steps necessary for conversion although I'm not quite sure where to start. Thank you for your wonderful video and sharing your stories and life! I will definitely utilize your wonderful sources!! 😊😊
Hi Lauren, welcome and I'm so glad you found my video helpful! 😊💗
@Siv Judaism deff DOES believe in the Messiah. Just not Jesus.
@@yamsufhere Then they have the wrong Messiah. Who would it be then?
and it never occurred to you to look into Protestantism?
Well your right about the catholic religion but Judaism will not except Jesus and if you don’t except Jesus as the son of god you won’t have salvation .
Judaism stoped even coming close to god
Read the Talmud is let’s you know Jesus existed
But describes Jesus with lies and insults
Yes most churches our out of line with Jesus
But your choice into Judaism is of satin
And you will condemn your. Own soul
Do as you wish
But you are very wrong with Judaism
As a person who will study about Judaism but has no jewish centers in my country these videos give me a slight hope...🥺
Check out Chabad, they are all over the world
Thank you for your video, that is what I was looking for.
You're very welcome! 😊
Omg, your husband is in touch with himself. “Don’t push me or you may light the fire and there is no going back”. Did he really put it like that? So deep!
Yep, that's what he told me. 😊 He is very self-aware.

You're welcome! Yes, we're blessed with the excellent resources available nowadays. 😊
@@jayellealafi5797 And those excellent resources are a real problem for Christian missionaries. It's interesting to note how many Christians have left the church as a result of engagement with people like Rabbi Tovia Singer and the Jews for Judaism group.

Shalom, I am also looking to convert. My rabbi told me that I will need to do a [approx three hour] written test before the interview with the Beit Din, Is that true? Did you also take such a test or did you have an interview only? I never heard of such a written test. Thank you.
Hi Warren, thanks for the comment and great question! If you're doing an orthodox conversion, then yes, it's quite likely there will be a written test of some kind before your final interview.
This is something I did as well. 😊
@@jayellealafi5797 Thank you so much. Yes, it’s an orthodox conversion. Please do let me know how the test went for you. Was it quite lengthy? Did it cover the most basic questions or was it more in depth? My Rabbi scared me by saying it’s probably a three hour exam and super thick papers. Hashem bless you. Thank you for responding.
@@warrens.1780 I pray that you will see what we saw. That Jesus is Savior and Redeemer.. one with the Father and Holy Spirit. The *Bible is not a series of disconnected stories.* It is a *single narrative in which every story, every character* points beyond itself to *one who is greater.*
The story of Adam and Eve is not just about the first man and woman... *there is a true and better Adam* who passed the test in the garden and whose obedience is ascribed to us.
*There is a true and better Abel* who, though innocently slain, has blood that cries out, not for our condemnation, but for our acquittal.
*There is a true and better Abraham* who answered the call of God to leave all the comfortable and familiar and go out into the void to create a new people of God.
*There is a true and better Isaac,* the son of laughter, of grace, who was not just offered up by his father on the mount but was truly sacrificed for us all.
*There is a true and better Jacob* who wrestled and took the blow of justice we deserved, so we, like Jacob, only receive the wounds of grace that wake us up and discipline us.
*There is a true and better Joseph* who, at the right hand of the king, forgives those who betrayed and sold him and uses his new power to save them.
*There is a true and better Moses* who stands in the gap between the people and the Lord and who mediates a new covenant.
*There is a true and better Rock of Moses* who, struck with the rod of God’s justice, now gives us water in the desert.
*There is a true and better Job,* the truly innocent sufferer, who then intercedes for and saves his foolish friends.
*There is a true and better David* whose victory becomes his people’s victory, though they never lifted a stone to accomplish it themselves.
*There is a true and better Esther* who didn’t just risk losing an earthly palace but lost the ultimate heavenly one, who didn’t just risk his life, but gave his life to save his people.
*There is a true and better Jonah* who was cast out into the storm so that we could be brought in.
*There is a true and better Passover Lamb,* innocent, perfect, helpless, slain so the angel of death will pass over us. He’s the *true Temple,* the *true Prophet,* the *true High-Priest,* the *true King,* the *true Sacrifice,* the *true Lamb,* the *true Light,* and the *true Bread.*
The Bible is not a series of disconnected stories. It is a single narrative that points to one person... *Jesus.*
*JESUS IS GOD.. A plain prophet cannot fulfill all this prophecy. JESUS IS THE LORD AND SAVIOR.*
You are reading Torah/Tannah (OLD TESTAMENT) but you are hardening your heart to this truth. Why? Please have an open heart for the truth.
You have a keen analytical mind, strong convictions and values. I am very glad you decided to convert and join "the tribe". You are a remarkable woman and are much appreciated.
Felt like you might be a good person to ask, as I've received mixed feedback. Our family has been taking a year (each) to experience different religions/denominations. We have no current affiliation or membership to any group, but are open to anything if we happen to find something that moves us or sparks a light within. We are moving onto year 2 (technically year 3 for me, but 2 as the whole family) and are wrapping up our time with the baptist denomination of Christianity. Our hopes were to move on to Judaism next year (2023) but when I asked about this on social media, one response I received was that Judaism is a "closed religion" and we would not be allowed to "window shop". Have you found that to be true? If that is true, I am wondering how people convert, because I assume they can't just walk blindly into a new religion without first experiencing it. Any thoughts on this? For what it's worth, we'd likely be heading for a reconstructionist or reform synagogue as those are the two closest to us (and honestly I am not sure how welcome we would be at an Orthodox synagogue based on social media comments mentioned above) Loving your content and your journey. I am not now, nor have a been in the past, a Christian because I struggle with many of the core concepts you mention in your video and it is so refreshing to hear them voiced
Orthodox will welcome you when they realize you ate commited, good luck with Gods blessings
Chabad, or Orthodox synagogues are not friendly or open to outsiders. Over and over again they refuse to return phone calls, emails, ect. They are known not be open, as they are very serious. (masked behind the excuse that they want to know you are serious) Good luck trying to get connected to them, or trying to be accepted under their wing. I have had better luck reaching out to other Jewish groups or synagogues which were not Orthodox. Very different experience, and so welcoming when you meet with those other Jewish groups. Conservative was very welcoming and so are Reconstructionist, or Reform, or those which are not even labeled as such. You have to explore yourself. Happy journey to you and yours.
@@birdlynn417 thank you! We did manage to find a welcoming reconstructionist group and will be attending our first Shabbat service this Friday.
Look into Chabad. We are very active in our local Chabad, and we are a mixed family - while not Jewish (yet), my wife embraces many aspects of my Jewish heritage and identity / religion, and Chabad has come alongside her in a very gentle way to help her on her journey. May G-d be with you as you seek Him. I encourage you to learn Hebrew (all 7 of my kids learn Hebrew). When you can read it and pray in Hebrew, and you know what the words mean, you can rest assured you understand more of what G-d spoke through Moses and the prophets, of blessed memory. All the best.
I also agree with comments that say check out Chabad. Ask if you can attend a shabbat dinner and ask questions. The reason conversion is difficult is because you are not only joining a religion but a tribe, and learning the ins and outs of that history/culture/nation takes a long time. And it might not be for you! I had a friend 10 months into her conversion process when she decided to step away and reexamine her beliefs, which everyone respected. I am not familiar with the reconstructionist stream of Judaism and how it differs from reform/liberal. I will say that any conversion that takes less than a year probably isn't valid (I've heard of quicker conversions in Israel but this seems to be the general rule). Truly wishing you the best in your journey.
This is a very intersting take on a conversion story video. I'm glad you included both your gut feelings and research in this, they are both very imporrtant to faith and neither should be disregarded without the other.
Hi Gigi, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I agree, I did do a lot of research into religion, it was important to me. I figured there just might be others out there who would appreciate more of the specifics. 🤗💕
I truly am worried as someone who is nearly 27 that I’ve made so many mistakes and errors that I can never be able to convert, marry, and have a family. I’m worried it’s too late for me and I’ll end up being alone within the community one day. If that makes sense. For now I am Bnei Noah, with some Jewish heritage. I left my life as a Catholic after searching and searching for G-d.
Thank you for sharing your life and your journey to living your fullest life.
Aliyahrose, I wish I could reach out and give you a big hug! It's never too late, I would encourage you to keep going, keep learning, try to connect with others on a similar path, (as well as an Orthodox Rabbi if you do want to convert) and trust G-d to work things out.
27 is young, and you never know how quickly your life can change! 🤗 💗
Never too late🎉 I’ve been raised southern Baptist all my life, but for the last several years left the church, still seeking truth. I got to wondering why churches worship Jesus more that the Father after reading Isaiah where it says that Father says he is ONE , the ONLY ONE ❤
@Reuven Yitzchak & Leye-Shprintse Teller Your comment has touched me! I have ADHD and things take longer for me. I feel comfort in your story in knowing my journey isn't one that is too late or impossible B"H. Nothing but the best for you. Thank you for sharing about yourself.
@@terffragette2
You're perfectly where G-d wants you to be. No mistakes! Hashem is leading you. Every obstacle has a purpose and the great purpose of our falls is to come to a realization that we got created and living by the will of G-d. Give up the controlling impulse no matter how positive it looks and accepting my reality.
Our main work on earth is the relationship with G-d, talk to G-d and ask to lead us to the best place, ask his active involvement in our life in a way that I clearly see where I should go. Taking action after such intimate pray is not the same as just running in the world with pride of knowledge. G-d is in everything and he talk to us through the situations, if the door I want to enter is getting open smoothly so it's where I should go, if things are oppose to me - Hashem is talking to me and tells me ''no''. We have to pay attention, to listen, to let G-d play the main role of my life, that only relationship that will stand forever in my soul.
@@dossit1 I was reading somewhere about parish’s ki sisa. When Mose broke the tablets he was able to have a whole new set. After the worship of the calf. Sometimes we have to be broken in how low we go, in order to reach new heights. I feel this so much right now. G-d is leading and sometimes it feels like we are going on a wild goose chaise but it slowly feels like it’s coming together and is making more sense. The more time passes the more my soul feels and recognizes the clarity in Hashem and in Torah and Mitzvots. Every Shabbat it’s like my body just knows. I spent it watching videos about Judaism and reading etc. As I’m not currently halachic or converting I am able to watch videos etc. But my whole being is aware. Every week it continues to point to Shabbat. Such a fundamental part of a Jewish relationship with G-d. B”H with more time, more clarity. I love your analogy of the door. Because it is open, you need to notice if there are things opposed to it. If it truly is what G-d wants for you. Our intellect is one of our biggest blessings but can also be the latter if we don’t be patient and set aside our ego. 🙏🏻 Thank you for your comment!!
This was one of the most informative videos I've ever seen on this topic. You just cleared a LOT of things up for me and sent me down a path
Glad it was helpful!
Beautiful story! I love your calm energy.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love that you could mutually decide to work past your ideological differences! Even within Christianity, there are ... problems. For example, I married a Catholic as a Baptist. And the only way I could do this was to personally swear to the Bishop of Madrid that I would raise my children Catholic. So I went to Mass for 20 years and even considered converting. I remember getting to the final class for Confirmation and I told the teacher, For me, it all comes down to your answer to one question ... do you believe in your heart that the only people in Heaven are Catholic? And he said, Yes. Such absolutism struck me as horrendously offensive to a loving God. To me, an enlightened person would have taken the position of Mother Theresa. "We should help a Hindu become a better Hindu, a Muslim a better Muslim, a Catholic become a better Catholic." Thank you. I think you just did!
If that exclusivity bothers you, you should know that Judaism is exclusive too. To love ones neighbor as onesself in Judaism only applies to fellow Jews. Gentiles in the olam haba will exist to serve Jews.
@@annavallone128 Yep. The Jewish faith teaches that as "gentiles", our greatest glory will be to serve them in the after life 🤣🤣🤣
@@eve3363 preface: if this is true, I'm bothered by the concept, but I'm curious to know what other religions say will happen to their non-believers in the afterlife? I.e. are non-Catholics destined to hell?
@@danijudy92 Yes. Catholics believe a Hindu or an atheist will be saved rather than a non- Catholic Christian. Catholics teach that Catholicism is the only way to be saved as a Christian. However, since a Hindu or atheist doesn't know Christ at all, they will be saved and not for example a Baptist or an Anglican.
@@danijudy92 And actually I'd like to clarify that it's not all gentiles. It's only the gentiles who the Jews will deem as "trustworthy " or gentiles who served Jews in some way before their death.
Thank you for sharing your story! Did you pick a Jewish name? Do you use it in your daily life if you have one? I was just wondering how people choose to use it after they convert, if you have to use it as your legal name or just at synagogue
I did and do have a Jewish name. My husband calls me Yael, which is, funnily enough, just the Hebraized version of what my parents named me. I don't generally use it in my daily life, but I certainly don't mind if people call me by it. ❤️
I'm not sure what others do, it may depend on what their previous name was.
Thank you for all the references.
You're welcome!
Thank you... very inspiring. Although I'm frum from birth I needed to here this.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! That's why I made the video. 😊
I used to be a Christian, moved to a Jewish neighborhood in BK, prayed to G_d to reveal the truth and realized it was all a load of lies. I thought about converting, but decided not too. I’m not perfect, but God got me through it all. He saved me!
The crazy thing is that I’m dealing with anger. I let so many people walk all over me in the name of the j man. All that Depression and self doubt from being judged was eating at my confidence and spirit, but once again God got me through it and he’s still working on me.
BTW/ beautiful Family. G_d has blessed you immensely!
I am happy to hear your story, thank you for sharing! Nobody is perfect, and it's definitely not a requirement to convert, Judaism does not push conversion (but I'm sure you knew that :)
I hope that G-d will give you peace and help you move forward, those people don't deserve your energy or a place in your emotions.
Thank you, I am very blessed and thankful to Hashem. 😊💗
Read Quraan please..it is the last book from GOD
What bible should i be translating to? My only bible is a new world translation so i use online ones to find passages until i can get a torah. Lots of translarions make little sense
So, you're asking about what Chumash or Tanach to purchase? (Chumash is the five Books of Moses, while Tanach is the entire 24 books of Torah, Prophets, and Writings).
There are many great options out there, such as with/without commentary (and by whom), with/without English translation, different layouts and formats, etc. It greatly depends on what you're looking for.
I've heard good things about the Artscroll Stone edition.
If you haven't seen my video about prayer, it may help you to watch that and it might give you a better idea of what the options are and what Chumash or Tanach might be right for you. The video is talking about siddurim (prayer books), but many concepts and terms are similar. czcams.com/video/MQLYxCXEluU/video.html
Hope this helps you!

Hi Kaylah, I'm so glad you found my channel, welcome! I definitely do have recommendations and that's a video I hope to make very soon; are you looking for more general info about Judaism and the belief structure/religious practice, or more specific topics such as Noahide, conversion, Shabbat, kosher, etc?
Is your goal conversion, or just learning/research at this point? 😊💗
@@rylstellerthank you. I’m just starting the process and have been looking for book recommendations.
This was such an interesting story of your conversion. You certainly did your research and in some ways it sounds like you enlightened and educated your husband in many aspects of his religion. Sounds like both of you grew and matured in your chosen faith. From an Anglican, thank you for sharing.

Hi! Thank you for the interesting video. Sorry for my broken English but I have got a question - the law of Moses orders killing jews for apostasy (Deuteronomium 13, 9-10). Do you agree on that since the Torah is eternal? If you agree, will you kill somebody for changing the faith or being an atheist?
Thank you. You gave me a lot of homework to do. I agree with 90 percent of what you said. I have to research the rest. But I suspect I will agree with the rest too. Be well.
Best of luck to you, Joseph! 😊
This is hilarious I was searching for Rabbi singer and I came across your video and started to listen to it and then I said wow this sounds very similar to somebody I know I should send a link to my friend Sarel! Thank you so much for sharing your journey I have the greatest respect for how you have transformed your life please keep up the great work shabbat shalom!
😂 That's so funny, I am sure Sarel would have a good laugh too! Thank you, I'm also a big fan of Rabbi Singer and his work. Shabbat Shalom! 💗
@Elie Benzaquen - Tovia Singer distorts the meaning of passages and has been debunked so many times, he’s the Zakir Naik of Judaism. I’m very surprised you haven’t done research on him. One thing is a fact, I _never_ recommend Singer to anyone looking into Judaism - he’s an embarrassment. There’s MANY Rabbi’s out there who do a stellar job explaining Judaism and the Hebrew Bible… but not Singer. 🤢
@@sisterspooky Be precise. What exactly has rabbi Singer got wrong?
@@GeoffSh4rt - I’m not going to do your work for you. I strongly recommend you watch debates he’s participated in, and research the claims he’s made. If you’re truly interested, you need to do the work. Me doing the work for you won’t teach you anything.
As I previously stated, we have many Rabbi’s who do a wonderful job explaining the Hebrew Bible… but not Singer. He’s a hack.
@@sisterspooky I think we can safely assume that if you had evidence of Singer distorting the meaning of passages, you'd willingly provide it.
Exactly what happened to me and was the most beautiful thing ever❤️thank you for this video and I hope more people will choose the right way✡️

How are you iam a Muslim but I like jewish religion kindly guide me
Love this! I too was raised evangelical, converted conservative and am currently in the process of finishing an orthodox conversion. Very similar process of personal evolution, questions and discoveries through my propensity through ravenous research. Almost all of the reasons you felt an affinity to the Jewish people (horrible injustices at the hands of the church, appropriation of Jewish texts by Xtians, inconsistencies in Xrian scriptures). It’s so validating to find others with a similar story.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! And good for you!💕
Yes, it is nice to hear other's stories and realize you're not alone.😊
Why are you converting Orthodox after already converting conservative. Just curious!
@@kanishkagaggar Because I want to be halachically Jewish and my status isn't accepted by half of the religious world.
You are blessed amen

HI, Happy Hanukkah!
I would love to email you. I have so many questions. My dad's side is Jewish. My grandparents where in the Holocaust I have a deep connection to my Jewish roots. My mom is Christian, but both my parents are more so secular, and my mom really does a secular Christmas. She actually loves lighting the Hanukkah candles, and my dad enjoys making the tree. My husband is entirely Jewish, and we did a courthouse civil ceremony. I have some questions because I find conversion fascinating, and I'm inquisitive. Is there an email I can reach you?
Hi Andrea, I am working on getting set up with a public-facing email. I saw your previous comment, I just didn't get a chance to reply yet, sorry about that. 😊
@@jayellealafi5797 totally fine looking forward to being able to talk to you :)
Thank you for making this video. It is making me want to move closer to Judaism.
That's wonderful! 💕
I made a playlist and saved this video. When I start to feel alone and weighted down by obstacles I'm encouraged by your testimony. Todah
Thanks for watching and may Hashem bless you. 💗
After watching Rabbi Tovia Singer on Tanakh Talk, I am totally onboard with your views. I bought both volumes of his books, called Let's get Biblical, which is awesome!
He's a snake trying to protect his community. His content keeps getting refuted.
Go to a channel called Biblical apologetics, by someone named Courtney. She's made plenty of content responding to his claims and refuting him.
@@filthymouthschoolboymakesi1236 I’ve seen that channel and watched most of her videos. Many of her claims are quite weak and subjective, and some are just based on a poor reading of Hebrew.
@@j.braunstein4599 I don't think you watched much of her content. Have you studied the targums and the 2nd temple period? Aramaic and Greek? Tovia is pretty easy to refute.
@@filthymouthschoolboymakesi1236 I’ve watched all her content dealing with relevant apologetics. I don’t read Greek but I have done some studies in other areas.
I grew up in a Traditional Jewish family in Jerusalem. I was never a "believer", so to speak. I wanted to KNOW what is the Truth. My tendency for critical thinking coupled with a burning desire to seek for the Truth, no matter where it leads to, led me to start a lifelong quest. I've researched Science, Philosophy, Poetry, Art, Religion, Culture, Mysticism, History, Consciousness, Language, Psychedelics, Meditation and so on, for 15 years since I was 15 and until today when I'm 30 years old, literally half of my life. When I discovered the depth of the Torah, the divine instructions, when I discovered the Reality of God, everything changed, I was shocked. It took me a couple of years to understand. Your (and your Husband's) story is incredible, I admire the honesty and integrity you have. May the God of Israel bless you and yours for eternity.
Thank you, what a beautiful comment! 💗
I agree, all roads lead back to Hashem, no matter where we look.
It's a beautiful (although not always smooth) journey of discovery, much respect to you as well for asking questions and learning! 😊
In Daniel 9:25, Daniel says when the Messiah will come. In Zechariah 9:9, He/Jesus came riding on a donkey, humble. In Genesis, it says, "Let US.." Jesus is God clothed in humanity. He has been seen all over the world by gentiles of different faiths. Many Iranians had visions, dreams, and visitations by Jesus; many converted to have a relationship with Him. There are Jewish people also discovering the richness of having a relationship with Him. In fact, just as God stated, His Chosen - the Jewish people will bless the nations. After watching Jonathan Cahn and Kirt Schneider a few years ago, I said the salvation prayers they led and God has done so much for me. During the middle of my sentences while praying in 2019, I confessed to God that I felt fear - instantly - He took it away! I witnessed a busy man in mind and body who changed into a peaceful man without use of drugs on the third day after praying for him. Jesus, the Prince of Peace. Jesus died as a lamb for my sins - the only perfect, blemish free lamb that could be substituted for my sins. He communicates with us in various ways. God is my Father, Lord, friend, counselor, provider, protector, and healer. Recently I've been noticing an increase of Jewish people coming to Jesus. A woman said she saw Him; she gave her testimony on So Be It.
What an amazing story. So beautiful
I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😊
G-d bless you sister. You made me laugh out loud at the end of the video talking about the messianics (from the word mess🤣🤣🤣) with the tallit! Yeshar koach!!!
So glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Sad to say you never had a spiritual encounter with Jesus personally
Nobody has, just plain silly, delusions of jesus.
Your story was so fascinating, and mazel tov for such an enlightening and insightful story!
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
When Abraham brought Isaac up to be sacrificed, it was his only son, since Ishmael and Hagar were banished.
He commanded Isaac to carry wood on his back up the mountain. When reaching the top, Isaac asked Abraham "where is the 'lamb' for the burnt offering?" And Abraham responded, "GOD Himself will provide the 'lamb' for the burnt offering".
At the point of offering his only son, through whom GOD would keep His covenant, the Angel of the LORD appeared and told Abraham to stop. There they found a 'Ram' with its horns tangled in thorns, or thicket. But why did GOD provide a Ram when Abraham said GOD would provide a 'lamb'?
Jesus was GOD's only begotten Son. He carried the wood of the cross up the mountain where GOD did indeed provide the sacrifice. Who was given a crown of thorns, like the ram in the thicket. Not a ram, but the spotless lamb. Sinless. Who died for the sins of all who would believe.
I pray the Father of Love and Mercy brings you to a return to the Faith.
You have been so lied to- this totally false
@@SH-qb6op nope. 😁
I am a Baalas Teshuva. My return to Judaism was a process. It's been 35 years and I have never looked back and thank G-d everyday for bringing me back to work on Myself to be closer to Him. "Life is beautiful all the time!"
Hi Marcie, that is wonderful! I am so happy for you! 💗 It certainly does change one's outlook on life. 😊
@@jayellealafi5797 and my husband is a convert. He converted 15 years after we were married and had our kids. I never pressured him. G-D had his plan for us

NO! come on wake up! you're getting bewitched from there life style! they have nothing to do With God! it there religion they love more than God! just to let you know since 1900's to 2000's over 14,000,000 Christians have been killed in this time span! that just a hundred yrs! that's twice and over more than the holocaust! and you have the nerve to put down Christians for jews who hate Christians till this day! could you imagine for over 2000 years how many other Christians have been killed for there Faith in Jesus! if you can write your comments and read other people's comments? then you could look it up for your self the real history about everything you want about the Christian Faith! because you are not a child, to say I can't believe I had been lied to about it for so long! grow up! there's no excuse for you to even say that unless you're 3 years old? cause your picture show a adult person!
The rabbis and other Orthodox folk were particularly incensed by the claim that spitting at Christians was an “ancient Jewish practice.”Some have maintained that it’s a custom among certain religious Jews to spit on the ground in the presence of “idol worshippers” to ward off the “evil eye.” Christian leaders and others have attributed the increase in these attacks to the presence in the Israeli government of extremist ministers, whom they accuse of encouraging anti-Christian delinquent behavior. (In short u can't judge anyone, in every religion there exist extremist that doesn't mean u define the religion 😊 the problem lies within persons character)

@@deanadoulahaworth2790 Check out Rabbi Tovia Singer here on CZcams. The Torah can change your life if you really study it deeply. It really is the word of God.
Thank you for sharing!!! There has been something about Judaism ✡️ that has been calling me, all my grandparents were Catholic, I lived with them, and I was forced to go church, I never liked. However my father wasn’t religious, never ate pork or gave us pork, I got circumcised when I was born, unlike my grandparents he told us that god was something infinite, and wasn’t a man, that Jesus wasn’t god. Being Mexicans, most of my family came from Spain which had a very large Jewish population. After doing my family tree for the last 15 generations, I found last names that were Sephardi Jewish, I believe they forced to convert to Christianity, it is estimated that 20% of Spain’s population is of Jewish descent, descendants of the jews who were forced to convert more than 500 years ago. After watching many videos of Rabbi Tovia Singer, I realized that the Christian church is a fraud, it is one of the cruelest institutions that has ever existed.
I’m interested in conversion and don’t know where to begin. Do you have tips?
Thank you for sharing your story! It was very interesting and empowering❤
This is very compelling. You've obviously done a lot of hard research. I take my hat off to you. May God bless you. Pam
Thanks for watching and may Hashem bless you. 💗
Love your story. I am a former Christian and am now a Noahide. Keep up the good work. You are an inspiration.
Thank you! 😊
Wow. They still won’t accept you. You just turned away from Jesus, how sad!
Thank you, I'm sad because my son converted to Christianity because he hates me, I'm Jewish and feel like Christianity is like a cult ....his Mom is Catholic...and I feel the church ...did this separation between us...
I'm sorry to hear about it. I'm not sure if you know this but Jewishness passes onto children only if their mother is also Jewish. This is the Torah law.
If your wife is Catholic then your son is not Jewish, unfortunately .
Christianity is a fake religion, idolatry, you're correct. Hopefully you're son will find his way out of it.
@@jayellealafi5797Judaism seeks out God. Only once in the history of mankind did a God come down to us. Jesus Christ is God. Whether you’re atheist or a Jew there’s no denying that one man’s life and death 2 thousand years ago flipped the world upside down. The western world is civilized and sane because we follow Christian traditions. The Catholic Church is the number one charity organization that provides education and hospital to poor across the globe. You are sadly losing out on the beauty of Gods love through Christ. Christ saves lives in the most hopeless cases daily. Doesn’t matter your genetics. We are all his children. ❤
Thank you for the in-depth information. It is very helpful in my search for truth. I appreciate that you respond to so many comments when we know you are a very busy woman. I am curious if you had similar concerns to mine in your conversion journey? I have been exploring orthodox Judaism and I'm reading some of the classic conversion books that are recommended. I find myself connecting deeply with what I am learning. I am hoping there is a path back to God but I remain wary of radical religious thinking that is fear-based and crushes the human spirit. Here is why. I grew up a protestant Christian but searched through the denominations to find the "right way" to worship God until I found Catholicism which was filled with meaningful ritual and theologically deep so I converted. I ended up in a Traditional Latin sect of Catholicism which is beautiful on the surface but toxic underneath with it's heavy emphasis on personal sin and vicarious suffering for other's redemption. (I still have scars from kneeling on the church floor during 2-hour masses/services). 10 years later life came crashing down and I abandoned ALL faith in a God. This may sound like a very silly analogy but it's like a child having believed in Santa Claus who finds out he isn't real. There is no way to believe again because your eyes have been opened. Saying that I am skeptical of religion is an understatement. I "pray" there is a way back to a real relationship with God.
Little Bird, your comment is so touching, I feel for where you are at.
Spiritual journeys can definitely be winding and painful at times. May G-d give you strength. I'm happy to hear that you've been exploring Orthodox Judaism.
For me, two of the ideas I learned during my own journey that had a profound effect, were that;
a) G-d created the world out of sheer lovingkindness, and sustains it for the same reason. How can we not feel thankful and love back?
b) G-d doesn't create people that he will then need to "save" (by killing Himself) or serve in any way. I can't accept a religion that teaches otherwise.
People are made to know and serve G-d, and our souls know this even if our brains don't. Our soul craves a connection to Him, the Source of All.
I hope you will keep going until you find your path. 🤗
@@jayellealafi5797 Thank you Jayelle for taking the time to respond. Your thoughtful words give me hope ❤️
Hashem bless you my dear sister ❤
Thank you, Ben! 😊
Iwas baptised catholic when I was 13, I'm 31 now, and recently got baptized orthodox Christian. Been researching different religions, it's interesting hearing different people's stories. Thank you for sharing your story :)
My pleasure, you're welcome! 😊
You were christened not baptised. Catholics are not baptised like Jesus and desciples were.
@@Kat-fw5joCatholic and Christian are not even remotely the same thing.
@@Kat-fw5jothis is absolutely not true. Catholics are Baptized. They are not christened, they aren't boats! Often the common saying among people is "a christening", but the ceremony is a Baptismal ceremony.
@@Mr-pn2ehthis is simply not true. Catholics ARE Christians. In fact, as I'm sure you know: "it was in Antioch that they were first called 'christians'". Catholics are, those that know and take their faith seriously, are very offended when Protestants or others say that they are not Christian.
Thank you for your story! A question out of curiosity: Of the 613 commandments in Judaism, 293 are associated with the Temple. Since the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE by the Romans, how are these 293 commandments practised?
A good place to start (for the answer to your question) is Hosea 3:4-5 and reference that with Hosea 14:3.. see also Psalms 51:17-19
Also Ezekiel 33:10-16.
There is more than this to learn about it as one’s relationship with G-d grows.. this is just a tiny primer on the matter.
I am interested in your thoughts about the Ben Noach/Noahide/Ger which is something I have been deeply researching over the last months. There are so many varying interpretations, and it can be confusing, but it may be what is right for our family. With HaShems help we hope to find our place serving the G-d of Israel. Maybe a video about what that (the Ger) means to you or any research you have done/heard on the topic would be nice.😊Shalom!
Yes! I would love to hear her thoughts on this! We have been researching the Noachide/Ger in our family as well😊
Hi Emily, good for you! 🤗 And thanks for your comment. Although I'm not an expert, that is definitely a video topic that I could work on making to help you.
You might find this helpful, I put a link to a Noahide resource in the description box, but here it is again, a free eBook (I think a physical version of the book is available to purchase as well)

Hi Joanna, thanks for your comment, I will work on this! 😊
The 7 Noachide Mitzvot have been given to all humanity. As B'nei Noach, we study Torah with observant Rabbis. Not all Torah portions apply to us.
The Ger is convert. All Mitzvot, including the 7, to be observed.
The b'nei Noach do not sanctify Shabbat, nor do we celebrate the Festivals.
Chabad is an excellent resource for the B'nei Noach.
Best wishes and welcome home !
Edit - "the Brit Shalom" by Rabbi Ouri Cherki is excellent guide for the Noachide.
Maimonides, too, but I'm not at that level, yet !!!
As a Christian myself that belongs to a messianic community... the Torah is for everyone. Look at Ruth as n example. There’s more but don’t want this to get to long. We keep the Torah that includes sabbath. Jesus never taught against the Torah. He preached from it.
Thank you for your video, I find your points of view interesting.
You're welcome! 😊
Every Jew who has let him or herself be led or duped into believing that Jesus was the Jewish Messiah should watch this video. I commend you for having seeking the truth and finding it. Masionic Jews have thrown away a Hope Diamond for a common stone.

Where did you find that mlk quote? Thank you for the video:)
Also how is Zionism different to Judaism or is it not?
It was not MLK, it was Martin Luther, one of the founders of Protestant Christianity. Luther’s work included a treatise entitled The Jews & Their Lies. You can read about it here.

Let me make it clear, you DO NOT look like you converted for your boyfriend. Even before telling your story, you looked like you take Judaism very seriously.
Aww, thank you, there is always areas to learn and improve, but that is part of the beauty, I think. 😊
@@jayellealafi5797 totally, Judaism is not boring.
I ask this as someone who has been interested in Judaism since childhood, had experience in a Jewish community and done some of my own research: Do you really think the dead are going to be resurrected? Are their Jewish folk (Reformed, Conservative etc) who do not take the Torah literally (like a boat with two of ALL earthly creatures etc)?
Also. Side note: Some of my family came from the Jewish folk who were forced to convert back in Spain .
I don't have extensive knowledge about this, but yes, we do believe that in the Messianic era, the righteous who have died will be resurrected. It's not for me to say who will be included in this.
Jayelle, now I understand much better why my mother decided to convert from Protestant Christianity to Judaism. She never said much about it, only that she felt Christianity was hypocritical. Where she lived and the time she grew up, all churches were segregated and she found that to be contrary to the supposed ideals of the church. She also married a fairly secular Jewish man and raised Jewish children.
