I mean that's why perspective converts
are turned away so much because really
it has to be an irrational thing it has
to be the person says you know what I
have no good reason for this I have
every good reason not to do this and I
just can't get it out of my head this is
what I've got to do so you know when you
have every good reason not to become
Jewish and yet you just can't shake that
feeling that you have to become Jewish
then eventually you have to give into it
if it just doesn't go away I'll tell you
a cute story a friend of mine told me
about this guy he knew in Yeshiva who
converted he was an older guy who used
to hang around the Yeshiva and study
there and my friend was a Yeshiva Bak he
was a younger guy so they knew this guy
as he was in his conversion process he
used to hang around the Yeshiva and
learn with the with the guys but he was
in a conversion process he wasn't yet
Jewish and then one day he came in and
he had had his conversion you know he
went to the the bezden and the Thal and
the mikah and so he comes into the
Yeshiva and he says to the B says boys I
want you to know that I can guarantee
you without a shadow of a doubt that
everything this whole thing Judaism is
real and I can tell you how I know that
it's real he said I just converted and
now I have spus and amona now I have
doubts and faith
it's a deep I mean he didn't say it as a
joke I mean he knew it was funny but he
he was also saying it truthfully meaning
there's a concept that everything in
Holiness has to be opposed by a
Counterpoint to make free choice
possible so basically this guy is saying
you know he wasn't really troubled by
doubts in faith during his conversion
process now he's Jewish you know he made
that step and now he's getting that
attack there's push back now all of a
sudden the yah Hut is coming to him and
giving him doubts so he said now because
I'm having doubts that's what makes me
certain that this thing is real because
I didn't have doubts yesterday I didn't
have doubts before why am I having
doubts now only because now there's a
special push back special resistance hey
