I am a convert I studied religion for many years grew up in a very prominent christian family with pastors and missionaries authors etc. . .but it wasnt until I studied Judaism and met my fellow Jews that I found my family, my people and who I was. When my family and friends found out I converted it wasnt easy But I was always blown away by one cousin (who also has a famous parent christain writers and theologians) ask me but why convert to Judaism? Why not just be Noahide? Simple answer: it is who I am.

Mazel tov to those who decide to convert! And mazel tov to those who walk the path of the noachide! Thanks for another great article alice. It’s much appreciated. Although as a noahide I can say we all experiance lonelyness and lack of community at one time or another but also it is marvelous freedom! NO DOGMA, NO Social expectations etc. And to the potential convert, you take on an awesome responsibilty and have my best wishes for your success, may you be one who brings great honor to HaShems Name. The Jewish people are a great people and will welcome you with open arms.

In other words

So, in other words, this is an article discouraging people to convert. Ok, what about those individuals who are sincere about converting? Who are, in fact, jews longing to be back home? Could we also, perhaps, add a few encouraging words for them?

Powerfully insightful, even accurate, but so depressing. I too am a Bat Noach. Study Tanack in Hebrew. Have no congregation, people or a building. And am fast coming to the realization, that for HaShem to not give much guidance to us, I must question the love. If I dont give equal guidance for all of my children, I can hardly expect them to believe that I love them equally. This road is becoming more and more bleak. Sorry for these conclusions.
