Why Is It So Hard To Be Jewish?

It's very difficult to become Jewish. I've been on a religious research journey for the past year. Uh well, that's because you still don't understand what it means to be Jewish. Uh so, as you learn more and more, you'll understand why the journey you're having is difficulty. It's not supposed to be easy. It's not Christianity or Islam where pretty much they all they do is just throw a bunch of dirty water on you and uh you know and you're one of them. To become a Jew means that you want to become one of Hashem's chosen people, which in so many words also means that Hashem has to choose you to allow you to become Jewish. So it's not just a matter of whether you have money to pay or not, or it's a matter of whether you live in the right place or not, or whether you know the information or not. Literally, Hashem has to open up the doors for you to allow you to succeed in this journey. So in order to do that it's takes effort, takes sacrifice, takes time. Uh and uh there's a lot of information in my lectures about it. I have a whole conversion guide that you could download for free on my website bzashem.org. Uh and it's on the uh uh in the book section, ebooks. You could download it for free and it's a uh uh it certainly uh could help you. But again, it's not necessarily um that uh you're experiencing something unique by having a difficulty converting. It's it's supposed to be difficult. Not because people want to make it difficult for you, but because this is in essence the path. Anything that's worthwhile in life in general has to be difficult. Because if it wasn't difficult, it wouldn't be worthwhile to find. Gold is difficult. Therefore, it's very expensive. It's considered a precious metal. Other metals like for example copper are not expensive. Why? Because it's easy to find copper. The first layer in the ground after you dig you're going to find copper. But gold you're only going to find little bits here and there. Hence the reason why there's, you know, copper is $4 a pound and uh and and gold is $3,000 plus an ounce. There's 16 ounces in a pound. So you could understand how much more expensive gold is than copper. Even though copper is much more useful for the world. Copper you need for wiring. Copper you need for uh you know for for pipes. You need copper for everyday life. Without copper the world would not survive a week. But it has abundance. Hashem made sure that whatever we need a lot of we have abundance of. We need a lot of water. Therefore 70% of the world is water. Uh we need a uh and we have rain and we have rain that from comes from the clouds and also there's rain that comes from outer space like unlike what people think because a lot of rain coming from outer space even more rain coming from outer space than there is coming from uh from the uh uh uh whole process of uh you know the photosynthesis and the uh uh vapors and so on. The uh as far as uh abundance of water we have we have a lot of water underground. there's even more water underground than there is above the uh you know that comes and they're just finding that out right now through uh uh the uh the different type of technology that's developed in the last decade or so. Uh shell gas and so on. The the the uh there's an abundance there's an abundance of uh of uh of of cows, chickens, but there's not an abundance of lions and uh and zebras. Why? because we need a lot of line of a lot of cows and chickens and goats because that's what most people in the world, both Jews and Gentiles alike, eat. They're easiest to kill. They're easiest to raise. They're easiest to uh to uh to take care of. Um they're they're uh they're not a threat. And uh they're they can be used for multiple things. Whereas if people ate lions every day, guess what? The world would not survive a week. The world would not survive a week. So the fact that there's an abundance of things is by divine design to make sure that we have whatever we need in abundance. Uh whatever we don't need, Hashem has in the world, but it's not an abundance. But therefore, the things that are more rare are also more valuable. So if you wanted to buy a cow, it'll cost you 20 uh 20,000, let's say. But if you wanted to buy a lion, you know, you could probably add a zero to that. Why? Cuz it's a lot more rare. It's a lot more difficult to catch a lion. It's a lot more difficult to uh to keep him alive, too, once you catch them. Why? Cuz again, it's it's it's it's more difficult. It's more expensive because it's more rare. Uh when it comes to religion, if you look at the Christian world, it's very easy to convert to Christianity. Therefore, you know, you you see that Christianity there's no problem of of converting to them. It's one, two, three. Anybody can convert in two seconds and uh nothing changes in their life really because they don't have to do anything. They don't have to do anything. Very easy. And there is billions of them. Islam not different. Same thing. they uh very easy to convert to Islam and a little bit more changes with Islam than uh the lifestyle of a person to Islam than it does with Christianity because they pray five times a day and and uh have different things. But uh the point is is that it's still relatively easy to convert to Islam. With Judaism, it's very very difficult. But we also have number one, we're the chosen people. We're the people of the book. And there's very few of us. There's maybe 15 to 20 million Jews that we know of in the world. In comparison to uh Islam and uh and Christianity between the two of them, there's somewhere around five billion uh five five and a half billion of them. Uh so there's a whole lot more. Uh we're not even a rounding error. So to become part of those select few that were chosen by Hashem not just am the 15 20 million but even to be part of those few that are actually loyal to Hashem still out of that 20 million literally you're talking about just a handful of million Jews in the entire world are the ones that still follow the Torah. So, you want to become one of those out of over eight billion people. What did you think? It's like saying you want to go to uh to to Mars and then to Pluto in order to find a uh a 500 lb perfect deflawless diamond that's blue and then come back to Earth all within a week. And it shouldn't be difficult and you shouldn't get uh car sick or spaceship sick. It's a ridiculous thing to expect if you want to if you truly understood what it means to be Jewish, whether statistically, spiritually, historically, or all of the above, then literally you would welcome the difficulty because you'd understand you're getting closer. you're getting closer. Unfortunately, many times people that want to convert have a little bit of a chip on their shoulder. I don't know if you do or not. I know I deal with a lot of converts, but I've helped a lot of them convert and I continue to guide hundreds of them uh on a regular basis. Uh thousands, I don't know, there's a lot more than that. But the point is is that uh some of them I already know from the beginning they will succeed and some of them I know already from the beginning they're going to fail. Why? They have a chip on their shoulder. Some people have a chip on their shoulder where they some of them feel like they're entitled. So they're upset at the system. They're upset at the rabbis. They're upset at the community. They're upset a lot of things. They're upset uh you know at the circumstance. They're upset they don't have money to do it. They're upset at all types of things. And if you go into it with that type of attitude, for sure you're in a path of disaster. Um and that's why a person needs to really understand what it means to be a Jew. um as part of their learning to convert and not just be a robot that uh follows instructions. Understand what it means the privilege that it is to be a Jew. And if you succeed, there's nobody better than you. But if you don't, then it's not uh it's not a surprise. Oh, you respect all religions is just belief. Oh, so obviously you're never going to convert. Obviously, not even a familiar or aware of what Judaism is. To you, it's just philosophy. So, it's uh you're you're very uh ignorant about uh um about Judaism and probably a lot of other things from the stuff that you're writing here. educate themsel, read a little bit, spend a little less time on the internet reading nonsense and uh perhaps you'll uh wisen up. We are meant to be a light unto the nations, not to follow their misguided practices. Remember, every Jew has to remember that he's a Jew and she's a Jew. We don't celebrate non-Jewish holidays, even if they seem harmless. It's a zil disrespect to the Torah and could lead to chalu hashem, desecration of God's name. Stick to our holy Torah and our own holidays. That's the path of a true Jew.
