I converted - so definitely YES!

I was brought up in a Christian family, where I was taught that God created everything and expects us to live according to His rules, being good to other people and doing good. And I witnessed that members of my family did not just talk but also lived this way. I chose Judaism because as a non-Jew I had something good and found something so much better. Every day I learn about how much more spiritual wealth and joy Judaism offers, and I know I can never exhaust its potential. Thank God I dared to ask for conversion. Thank God I succeeded in the end. The depth of the connection to God Judaism makes possible is worth ANY price! For all Jews who wonder whether to truly commit to Judaism: take the plunge. No matter what happens, you can choose no greater good, and experience no greater blessing!

Error in the year!!!

This was from the year 1984 NOT 2004. On the screen it is written '04. It should been written '84.

as a convert - loved this :)

As someone on the conversion I loved this video :) It shows the lighter side of Judaism and all the emotions one goes through... loving Judaism as well as feeling the gravity of it...For sure when one starts like Arnold you have NO idea what you are getting yourself in for, but its good to be able to laugh about it..for sure Judaism is the greatest gift int he world... Great job on the video :)

The Road to Conversion

As one traveling down the road to becoming a Jew, I found this old episode from Different Strokes very revealing. It’s a major commitment and one I take very seriously. There are many personal challenges to deal with, but the further I travel, the more beautiful the Jewish faith and culture becomes. Thank you for reawakening my faith.
