The Gamara tells us on the day that he gets married he gets >> [music] >> a bonus out that he gets the opportunity to wipe clean the slate, get rid of all of his sins that he had performed previously. He starts anew. When someone converts, the Gamara tells us he is cotton chanuladan. When someone converts they're like a newborn. It's like he was just born. Now that he converted strictly speaking you're your own entity, your own identity that you took on now.
