Real conversions, real people that are sacrificing their life, their marriages, their chil- everything for Hashem. I have one student, Sadikha Kedosha. You know what she sacrificed? I bet you none of you are willing to sacrifice it. Why? I know. I don't think there's two people in the world willing to sacrifice it. She sacrificed a marriage and five kids. A marriage of 17 years and five kids. For who? For Hashem. Who's willing to do it? Raise your hand. The reality is, Rabotai, if we were born not Jewish, we probably wouldn't even want to convert. That's the reality. That's the reality. Why? It's much easier to be a I can eat whatever I want, I can party however I want, as long as I don't worship an idol, I don't eat the animal while it's still alive, I don't steal, I have a court system. It's pretty easy to be a Why should I go and add 600 laws to my life? Why? That's because we don't know what it means to be a Jew. We look at it as a as something that's like a like a burden on us to be a Jew. It's a burden on us to be a Jew. These 600 mitzvot is a burden. That's because we don't know anything. We don't know what it means to be a Jew. We don't know that you won the lotto every single second you're alive as a Jew. The entire world exists because of you. Like it or not.
