hello how are you I hope you're having a
wonderful P here in
Israel we're going to be doing a later
tonight in a uh Yesa here and uh wanted
to answer the question that you had and
uh the answer is a little more than a
yes or no so will give you an answer
with some sources of what happens to a
convert that hasn't completed his
conversion but started it is serious
about it but has not completed it and
the mashia arrives so
the page
four uh uh Alf says that once the
um uh once the mashiah comes no more
converts are going to be accepted why
because at that point it's going to be
known that Israel is the chosen ones at
that point it's going to be known that
the Jews are the leaders of the world
and that Hashem is created the world for
them so in essence there's not going to
be a uh you know a trial it's not a test
anymore everyone's going to be a con
convert similar to the times of King
Solomon and similar to the times of King
David
now this In the Beginning Sounds like
bad news most people say what do you
mean I want to convert I want to convert
I've been trying so this does not
necessarily apply to the uh to the ones
that are already in the process this is
specifically referring to
the converts that uh were thinking about
it but have not made the first step yet
I've not contacted a rabbi have not
started seriously studying have not
taken on themselves to start doing the
mitzvot but like the theory like the uh
you know the the minim the the culture
like uh you know like Judaism likees you
know learning Torah from time to time
but I'm not very serious about changing
their life women are still not dressing
properly men are still not circumcised
still not praying to Hashem still not
learning to so you know but you like it
you're watching a sh you're enjoying my
sh on online once in a while so it's not
someone that's serious what we're
talking about
here is people that are very serious
people that have already started
seriously learning the things they need
to learn in the Torah for the purpose of
conversion one have already started
taking on some of the MIT that they're
allowed to take on uh at least 99% of
them that uh because a non-jew is not
allowed to keep Shabbat 100% so they
have to violate Shabbat uh to to some
extent uh and the same goes with other
holidays and so on but the point being
here is that they're not violating it
because they want to they're violating
you because the Torah says you have to
until you complete your conversion or
you're in a final stages which at that
point you're allowed to do it but now
someone like this someone that's serious
like some of my righteous students some
in Germany B some in Bulgaria bashem
some in Florida some all over different
parts of the United States in the world
even Africa even hasem what about those
righteous people that uh you know are
like bem you know in India even
surrounded by a surrounded by all the
worst things on Earth but are learning T
nonstop and are helping do kiru and
doing everything right is is is AEM not
not merciful and he's just going to say
no listen you weren't born a Jew you're
going to stand non Jew even though you
tried no no way so what happens so
in there is a um very very
important part to read
in this is a uh the the the the laws of
the converts of of conversion and then
there in the third part which is giml
gim is the third letter of the Hebrew
alphabet it asks a question what happens
you know when a GE comes to you you tell
him uh you
know what do you tell him he wants to
convert they say well we first thing we
tell him is that listen you know you
know that the Jews are persecuted Nation
yes you know that the Jews are going
constantly going through Holocaust and
pgms and anti-Semitism and suffering and
killing and we're not the favorite right
now we are not the favorites
unfortunately we're constantly being
abused insulted and tortured on a
regular
basis and you as a non-jew don't have to
be a Jew if you know a Jew violat
Shabbat the uh Heavenly punishment is
death penalty and uh much much more than
that even no share of the world to come
cut off from the nation but a non-jew
can violate Shabbat openly there's no he
doesn't have he's not even allowed to
keep
Shabbat so not only are you
adding more stringency to your life with
all of these MIT but on top of it you're
taking a risk in case you go back and
you don't want to keep them because
there's no no there's no uncon
converting there's no converting to
Christianity from Judaism or converting
to atheism or converting to Islam or
converting to Buddhism or whatever other
nonsensical religion that's in the world
no once you're a Jew you're a Jew that's
it regardless of whether you're a
convert or you were bornn a Jew there's
no converting out of
Judaism so if you end up not wanting to
do it
anymore then you have yourself a problem
and on top of that you're adding
yourself to the nation that's being
persecuted on a regular
basis why would you do this if the
convert answers this is something you
want to listen to if the convert
answers something reference refences to
I wish I could be a part of the Nation
meaning none of that stuff matters to me
all I want is to be a part of the chosen
people and I take all of those mitv on
all of the persecution on with no care
in the world except for the truth that I
cannot live
without
the thean this is the book of laws of
Judaism says they convert him on the
spot no tests no uh a uh 6mon weight or
oneyear weight or nine-year weight or
money or anything they convert the
person on the spot and on top of that
they start teaching them the laws little
by little but they don't put too much
stringency on him they actually go easy
on him or on her why because they're
brand new they're babies but they
convert him on a spot and that moment
they go to the mik if he hasn't done a
they do considered 100%
Jewish so why do they go through this
whole thing why is there this Minag this
this culture that you reject a Jew you
reject a convert three times before you
accept him in today's age unfortunately
why is there this long you know
horrendous process in some places around
the world where they make you suffer
this righteous converts suffer for a
year for two years for 5 years I even
heard one story of N9 years going to
some conversion where the clearly says
on the spot this is because
unfortunately throughout times there's
been many unrighteous converts there's
been many terrible converts that were
not really converting for the right
reason that were not converting for
Judaism for Judaism sake they were
converting for marriage purposes for
convenience purposes and even for money
purposes so in order to check the
authenticity of the person they have to
go to trial now this whole idea or
culture that people have that you're
that you have to reject a convert three
times is not a law it's not a law and as
a matter of fact the the M the culture
itself doesn't actually have very good
sources meaning that it doesn't
necessarily come from Judaism
so many people have heard this so many
times that they actually think this is
part of the Jewish law this is part of
the tah that you have to reject them
three times this is completely
untrue uh anyone that want more clarity
on it that I can but the point I'm
trying to make here is that the reason
why the rabbis have to be very very
careful with converts is because number
one we cannot afford to have a wicked
convert because if that person is not
really meaning to convert then you know
even though physically here he may
convert and he may fool the rabbis the
bedine and even perhaps their spouse
house to be he's not fooling hasem so he
goes into or she goes into the mikve A
non-jew and they come out a non-jew even
though everyone else will consider them
Jewish in reality they're not Jewish
which means that all of the children
coming out of them will not be Jewish if
it's a woman and if it's not if it's a
man then it's a a different problem but
nonetheless it's a huge huge problem so
they cannot risk having someone that's
not really
authentic the second thing is is that if
the person is really just clueless about
Judaism and just wants to join it
because he heard some good things about
it but he doesn't really know what it
really takes then they don't want to put
that person in front of a in essence
almost like a trap not a trap because
Judaism is beautiful and amazing but
it's not for everyone so you're not
allowed according to the Torah you're
not allowed to put an obstacle in front
of a blind person so in essence
converting someone nonchalantly without
checking them without making sure that
they're authentic without making sure
that they can actually handle this
you're in essence putting an obstacle in
front of a blind person which means that
the rabis would be sinning not only for
their own sake but also for this poor
person that's converting and now he's
going to get himself into
Judaism you know completely clueless and
the next thing you know he starts
sinning violating Shabbat after a few
months a few years he decides not to
keep anything and then next thing you
know the guy gets Eternal punishment
from
Hashem for stupidity
this is not worth it so the righteous
rabbis have implemented certain laws
just like the Torah says and the Hashem
orders the rabbis to put a fence around
his fence meaning that he has laws but
if the rabbis obviously throughout times
as things change if they see that people
are more likely to violate some of the
core laws of Judaism they are allowed to
make additional
laws in order to get people away from
violating the real law the the the core
law from the biblical law from the Torah
so this is for example like milk and
meat obviously it says in a to you're
not allowed to have let's say steak with
milk but chicken is poultry it's not
actually meat but it looks like meat and
it feels like meat and in some cases
even tastes like meat so that's why the
rabbis have added the law and said
you're not allowed to eat chicken with
milk either because if someone sees you
eating a chicken sandwich they may not
know that this is a chicken sandwich
they may think it's just a meat sandwich
just a white meat sandwich they may
think oh all of a sudden yeah this Rabbi
is eating a uh a chicken with uh with
cheese sandwich so obviously they
probably changed the law so it's allowed
to eat steak also with with cheese so
they put a fence around the fence same
concept with conversion same concept
with all of Judaism where there are
certain additional reinal laws that have
been added in accordance with the Torah
in with permission from Hashem himself
in order to get us away from the
biblical violations because the biblical
violations are just too dear for us to
violate and people just have no idea how
much suffering they would get if they
don't do chuba so now back to our
question at hand if someone is
authentic the rabbis would convert him
on the spot so what about today how come
they don't convert authentic people
there's plenty of authentic people out
there how come don't convert them on the
spot because again there's so much
concern about people playing and acting
and so on that we just have to go with
teachings of our forefathers which is to
go through a process and you have to
find righteous rabbis righteous Dian
your conversion should not take 9 years
four years or anything it's literally
something that should take a matter of
months according to your teaching and
according to your learning if someone is
truly serious conversion shouldn't take
more than several months if someone is
not serious it could take eternity but
if you're truly serious it's a matter of
a few months you just have to find the
right the right rabbis and the right
places and anyone that has needed help
has come to me and B we're trying to
help everyone but again it's all up to
your learning and undertaking of the MIT
if you're not serious it's uh then it's
a I can't help you if you're serious
then obviously we can point being here
is
that if someone is going through this
process and is serious and is learning
but mhia shows up what happens to them
since they were already learning since
they already took on the mitv since they
already accepted AEM as a permanent part
of their daytoday life minute by minute
and are learning and observing his Torah
already in sham they have already
started a process which when the mashia
comes they will complete the process
because as we said according to the you
could accept the convert on the spot
based on his authenticity but mankind
cannot authenticate someone like this
because we don't have that ability the
mhia can hem obviously
does on the other hand if someone is not
authentic they could be even a day
before the
conversion and they would not go through
the conversion they would not be
completed why because Hashem knows
what's inside you which is one of the 13
principles of faith that the rambam
wrote that each and every single Jew
whether convert or Natural Born has to
repeat recite and Believe on a
day-to-day
basis is to believe that Hashem knows
your thoughts he knows what's inside you
so if you are authentic he knows you
could fool everyone around you but you
cannot fool the one above us so the key
is are you authentic are you a
legitimate convert are you a legitimate
person that wants to convert and if the
answer is yes you have nothing to worry
about continue your learning and you
you'll complete your conversion one way
or another if you're if you're not
authentic then you've learned this far
you should stop the nonsense go find
yourself something else to do with your
time and move on with your life because
fooling people that you're playing with
fire when it comes to
Judaism so here is something very
important that we learned that the laws
of
Hashem
sometimes he's the only one that could
Implement them sometimes he puts the
rabbis at play to implement them
but at the end at the full end when the
mssiah comes we're all going to know the
truth who's really righteous and who's
really wicked regardless of whether
they're wearing black and white and have
a beard that's 6 feet long none of that
stuff matters what really matters is
what's inside you and what you're doing
on a day-to-day basis also keep in mind
that before the Mah comes even though
he's going to appear one day it's not
going to be appear one day where we're
all going to work having a good time
and one day he just appears there's
going to be a lot of balagan before the
mashia comes there's the war of goou
Magog and the the end of the world the
third world war which in many opinions
has already begun so there going to be a
lot of time before the Messiah comes
even through this process which means
that since we already find ourselves at
the end of days anyone that's truly
authentic and legitimate about
converting get going don't wait wait for
this last minute don't wait for the
mashia to authenticate
you get yourself going if you need to
move to a Jewish Community then move to
a Jewish Community because that's a
critical part of converting if you need
to get a breit Mila then let's go talk
to me let's figure out something we have
to get a breit mea if you're in the US
there's someone that's a righteous
doctor and RAV that's in New York that's
willing to do it for free if you are you
know as far as learning is concerned if
you are behind on learning then get
yourself into a learning mode every sing
day whether you're Jew or Gentile you
have to learn obviously different things
but nonetheless if you're in the process
of converting you have to learn the
entire T you have to read the the uh at
least the first two of the five books of
Moses with commentary by Rashi at the
very least and perhaps even rambam you
have to get yourself or ramban I'm sorry
you have to get yourself into these
things we're working on on actually uh
putting a kit together a conversion kit
together a guide
and uh because of my trip to Israel been
very very busy I haven't completed but
we'll finish it soon the point here is
that everyone knows what they need to do
at least for the basics for now is what
they need to learn because we're all
running out of time let's not wait for
the last minute because if you're really
righteous yes you don't have nothing to
worry about you're going to end up being
Jewish one way or
another but let's not wait till the last
second get yourself going do it a
already has laws in place for people
like you and you have nothing to worry
about but at the same
token if you're delaying
postponing and taking your time that
puts your authenticity into question and
if that puts your authenticity into
question you may not get in so be this
answers your questions about what
happens to people that are in the middle
of the road the real question is what's
inside you and what you're doing with it
the
answer only Hashem and you know so
without Hashem the answer is the right
one call
