one after another one after another people think  that Jews converting to Christianity was something   from like a long time ago this is completely false  just in recent years Jews for Judaism a very uh   top-notch organization run by rabbi scoach did a  research and they said that over a half a million   Jews in recent history over a half a million Jews  have converted to Christian ity half a million   know what a half a million is if you say half a  million in America who cares a half a million they   have 400 million people half a million people  die from cigarettes and nobody feels it half a   million what's a half a million big deal half a  million 400 million am that's 20 million at best   we have 20 million half a million half a million  you talk about a significant percentage of of the   entire nation significant percentage of the entire  nation it's not a uh it's not small you half a   million do that uh you do that a few times finish  the people half a million just to give you guys   some statistics you can understand the magnitude  of what a half a million means I mean percentage   wise it's only 3% doesn't seem like much doesn't  seem like much but a a uh half a million there's   about 6 million Jews in America how many of them  do you think keep Shabbat people in America or 6   million Jews in America how many of the American  Jews keep Shabbat 600,000 600,000 Jews in America   keep Shabbat that means that the half a million  that converted to Christianity is almost as many   as what we have religious Jews in all of America  I give you some other sickening facts since we're   already on this topic and we're going to have  to have another sh about this anyway 68% 68% of   American Jews so you're talking about 4.9 million  almost 70% of 6 million yeah that's approximately   4.9 million 68% of Jews in America do not believe  that you have to believe in God in order to be a Jew they do not believe that believing in God  is compatible with Judaism meaning it's not   an obligation like Judaism is a cult it's not a  religion 68% 68% this is not a small number 68%   you're talking about the majority the majority of  Jews in America so it's a little over 4 million I   was wrong so 70% of uh 6 million it's 4.2 million  so it's a little over 4 million 68% do not believe   that you have to believe in God in order to be  a Jew I'll give you another one 60% of Jews in   America average marry non-jews 60% in some parts  of America it's over 90% in some parts of America   it's over 90% statistically when you include when  you throw the Orthodox in there also which is a   very very low it completely distorts the numbers  it distorts the numbers the Orthodox because it's   very low in marriage in Orthodox world so it  distorts the numbers you're going from 80% in   reformed 78% of reformed Jews marry non-jews 85%  of secular Jews marry non-jews and then you have   the religious Jews you have 3% go off the distorts  the numbers so six out of 10 Jews marry non-jews   in America and out of those Jews that marry  non-jews 20% of them only 20% % of a married   um raised their kids as Jewish meaning whoever in  marries decides that Judaism is for other [Music] people [Music]
