Comments on: Jewish Conversion: From Abram to Abraham http://jerusalemcouncil.org/halacha/giyur/jewish-conversion-from-abram-to-abraham/ A Global Association of Orthodox Jewish Believers in Messiah Yeshua Fri, 01 Jul 2011 03:30:37 +0000 hourly 1 By: Rob Seibert http://jerusalemcouncil.org/halacha/giyur/jewish-conversion-from-abram-to-abraham/#comment-371 Rob Seibert Sat, 11 Sep 2010 22:56:28 +0000 http://jerusalemcouncil.org/?p=1195#comment-371 I would also appreciate some info. I am ethnically Jewish but was not raised as such (great-grandfather hid our identity); was circumcised at birth medically but not religiously. I have been involved in various forms of "Messianic Judaism" since 1995, and have not experienced as much good sense or logic till discovering your website. I know Hashem is with your teaching. I experience His presence every time I check in. I desire to be complete in my obedience to Torah and the Messianic Judaisms I have been involved in have failed to provide the expected means to help me fulfill what I know Hashem is requiring of me.

I've always stayed away from the conversion conversation because it was always under the auspice of an unbeliever (in Yeshua HaNatzeret) providing the conversion AND it always required denial of Yeshua. This is good news that you present here, in my heart, and doesn't seem to interupt my learning and Torah pursuant lifestyle since 1997. Are you able to give me information that may help as well (like you mentioned to Brother John)? I'm not seeing any red flags here, Barukh HaShem. Yeshua is central in your writings, and contantly seen thru His Torah. There's hope here...todah rabbah Israel! Wow, sounds so simple all the sudden Israel….makes so much sense.

Don't give up and certainly don't seek it from an unbelieving authority. Everything is in HaShem's timing. The road is long and hard, and there is much work to be done to prepare the way ahead. Thank you for your kind words. HaShem willing, orthodox Jewish conversion will be available for disciples of Yeshua sooner rather than later. I will send you an email with information on who might be able to assist you in the meantime. Shalom, Israel John,

We were entirely unwelcome in a local “Messianic Synagogue” that taught that conversion was a bad thing; yet in our hearts we know it is the best way for us to follow Messiah Yeshua. It is nice to find people who seem to agree that conversion: 1) doesn’t redeem us, it just makes our walk here in this world sweeter and 2) that gentiles who whole heartedly desire conversion should be allowed / helped to do so. We can’t seem to find anybody who will aid us. Well; I guess we’ll just have to wait for a time when this movement matures enough to get Beit Dins started. Your web site has given us a tiny glimmer of hope that we will someday have simcha. B-H & B-M
