Former Hostage Maxim Herkin Speaks About Being Forced to Convert in Captivity

The process is, if we're talking about the conversion process itself, then it's pretty simple. You're supposed to be clean with clean clothes, which is already a benefit. Yes, exactly. Exactly. That's all. That's a benefit from the start, okay? And to say what needs to be said. From there, you're a Muslim, and from then on, you're supposed to pray five times a day together with them. If you want to win a war, you need to learn who your enemy is, and it's better to learn that from the inside. And if you have the option to study them better, then it's best to use it. And in the meantime, your Jewish faith grows stronger, right? That's what happens. Of course. Listen, for example, we used to keep the traditions of Shabbat. We would recite the Selichot prayers together, and we observed the fast and the sacred rituals of Yom Kippur. Believe me, it's the easiest thing in the world, and honestly, the most fun. Really, truly. I recommend it to everyone.
