To Do or Not To Do

Have you found yourself wishing to do everything Jewish? Have you been seriously 

considering conversion to Judaism? Have you pondered whether or not to eat Kosher?

Are you wondering about celebrating the Jewish Holidays?

I can truly empathize! I absolutely fell in love with G-d's Truth, the Torah! I fell in love with

everything Jewish. I do recall an assistant to the Rabbi I was working with during my 

conversion said to me that I don't have to read everything Jewish! It was okay to read 

other kinds of books. At that time, I was still in the "I want to know everything" stage. 

After five years of studying, reading everything I could, I still was digging into the 

Jewish writings, commentaries, and so forth. In 2002, I was intrigued in listening to an

expert in Kabbalah. A whole new world had opened up to me in so many ways and my thirst 

for this knowledge was not quenched! The more I read and studied, the more questions

that I had needed to be answered. I was on the biggest quest of my life! A lot of people

who left idolatrous religions have felt the same way, but not all. Some people are fine in 

just knowing some basics and that's okay. 

No, you don't have to be Jewish! You can still remain a gentile and eat what you have been 

eating and doing the same things basically. You observe the 7 Laws of Noah and that's fine.

From what I understand from several Rabbis like Rabbi Singer, you can observe 

Shabbat (Sabbath) but not fully. According to other Rabbis, you can have a wonderful 

dinner and say some blessings but again, don't fully do Shabbat. I recommend to research

this. 

Conversion isn't easy. There is so much involved. A lot of study time, a lot of getting to 

know the Jewish community. I want to add here that the Orthodox in Israel, Reform and 

Conservative Judaism (sects) do not recognize these conversions. Please also research 

this as well. I know of a lady and here husband and their children converted to Reform

Judaism. They somehow managed to fly to Israel and were not let in! They were held and

questioned and they had to turn around and go home. It was a horrible ordeal for them.

Is being a Noahide enough? Does G-d love you any less? Of course not! G-d loves you, 

you are His child! Just because you are a Noahide doesn't mean you won't learn anything

or learn anything deeply! Quite the contrary! The doors are open to Noahides in so many

ways! I am seeing more and more opportunities for Noahides to be included in studying

and lectures about Judaism. May I tell you a little something? A lot of Noahides probably

know more then some Jewish folks! No joke! 

A Noahide who observes the 7 Laws of Noah are Righteous Gentiles. Be excited about 

this way of life! It is a life full of rich understanding! No, you don't have to convert to 

Judaism and no being a Noahide is NOT a religion. Again, it's a way of life that G-d 

intends for us to live!
