Shortcuts To Converting To Orthodox Judaism

foreign [Music] just because you want to you have to you have to go through a process but nonetheless if a person is through the process then they'll have guidance from the rabbi of what to do what not to do when to do it when not to do it for example when we uh guide different converts many times the converts want to take all of the mitzvot that show exterior looks meaning automatically they want to grow a beard automatically they want to get a hyped automatically they want to get a big delete and it's a cheat and a big keeper and put on to filling on day one they don't even know what's in the box they don't even know the Aloha that have to do with filene they don't even know there's multiple types of twinning they don't know that there is a when to put on to fill in how to put on to filling but they like to look they like the look of the keeper they like the look of everything and they want to look Jewish into mistake many times I tell people that the feeling is not something that you even begin doing you don't even begin doing until you pretty much have a date of when you're inverting meaning you've already gone through the process it's already been confirmed that you know enough and have made enough changes in your life to be a Jew we're just waiting for the bedding to meet with you in a month in two months whenever it is that's when you get your feeling and that's when you start putting them on you don't put them on a month after you started uh learning Torah and you started your conversion process you you put it on later on later on and the same thing goes with a lot of other things many times people ask me Rabbi is it okay if I put on my cheat sheet like you do and I wear it outside and I always tell them absolutely not in fact you shouldn't even wear a seat you just started the conversion process or learning everything six months ago three months ago four months ago everyone knows that you're not Jewish you're going to put on a GT people are going to think you're Jewish that's a problem that's a very serious problem you should not put it and put on two teeth when should I do it later on once you become a Jew or literally a a a week away before conversion and a lot of people have a hard time listening to this advice because they think oh you're keeping me down or I want to do it or better yet you have some people that simply didn't want to listen to good advice when you give them because they figure that maybe they can do it in a different way and unfortunately there's no end to these stories that I can tell you what I deal with all types of headaches that people give me for no reason I don't know what I did to them that they'd simply decide that they're gonna return the help that I give them with headaches and the advice that I give them with more headaches but one time I had a situation where there was a guy that told me listen you've been helping me I've been wanting to convert but uh there's a different Rabbi that wants to help me and uh he uh he wants to convert me I said listen you found somebody that's gonna take you to a bad Dean by all means well he wants to call you okay he wants to call me I don't really do calls uh it takes a lot of time it takes a lot of effort I could just simply do with messages but anyway after a few messages with this Rabbi eventually there was a phone call within that phone call I heard this Rabbi saying a few things and one of them was that he does the conversion himself but he somehow gets a certificate from some bedding look it sounds a little strange sounds illegal sounds unethical and sounds against but whatever anyway this guy had a uh uh you know wanted to be the donkey that speaks by all means do you let him speak anyway after he told me what he told me I told him that I disagree with his way I disagree with what he's doing I would not recommend that he does this with the people that I know but there's nothing that I could do uh if they want to listen to them by all means I'm not uh you know I'm not I can't stop anybody he said no no don't worry about the the bedding knows me and it's okay and we've done it and with this and you know all the Mumble jumbo okay fine anyway who always helps me left and right even when I don't even realize that I need the help he helps me literally maybe two three days later the bad Deen that he was talking about happened to call me they knew it may help with something now interestingly enough I was able to help them with something that they needed and I said since I'm already on the phone with you I wanted to ask you something there's this uh Rabbi that uh called me and he says that he does this this and that and you send them certificates even though you're dayanim don't go over there the rabbi on the phone literally almost had a heart attack what who what is he talking about never give me his phone number right now we're gonna call this guy he's like Asha he's this don't trust anything that he says we would never do such a thing no one does such things why would we put everything on a line to do another thing I said I don't know it's what he said I don't know check yourself I'm just telling I'm asking because it kind of sounded weird that you know a bad team that I'm familiar with it's an honorable but Dean is doing things like this but I don't know I don't know anybody's business so that's why I'm asking you and this Rabbi literally almost lost his mind he couldn't believe somebody was doing this so now after I found this out I contact my uh you know this former student current student whatever student he was at the time and tell us and by the way I spoke to that uh Rabbi of yours that you told me about and he said such and such similar to what you said but he gave me some more details and as you would have it I found out that everything that he he's saying is a complete lie his his uh conversion will not count in the eyes of the rabbanut most likely will not count according to Allah and quite frankly he is a thief and a liar and we also found them lying in a few other things so you would expect this student to do what thank you so much I love you you saved my life you saved my eternity you that's what you would expect what do I get oh no come on listen maybe we should talk about it maybe this maybe that he starts calling me the other people call me every what do you want from my life I'm trying to help you now it's my fault that you felt you almost I'm saving you from a criminal what do you want for my life I'm telling you there's a you know a way to do it there's a way to do it you want to do it the right way you want to do it the wrong way no no all of a sudden why because people simply don't know don't know how to do what they're supposed to do they just simply decide that this is the right way and if you don't agree with it then there's something wrong with you so unfortunately this is this is part of the world this is part of uh the the life this is part of the test but a person needs to know they need to play their role in life and not somebody else's role it always seems it always seems to be difficult to be yourself and easy to be somebody else but I can promise you that being somebody else ends up being very very painful uh and uh unfortunately something that is going to destroy the real you and you certainly don't want to do that if a person wants to be a Jew there's a way to become a Jew a person that uh Hashem wants them to become a Jew Hashem will open up the path at some point for them to become the Jew that may be tomorrow it may be in a year from now 10 years from now 20 years from now but if a person really wants to go on the right path time should not be of the essence they should simply do everything they can and wait patiently until Hashem opens up the door and I can tell you from personal experience that some of the most righteous people that I know and had to Merit to be part of their life to be part of their conversion were people that would went through the conversion process for 10 15 years before they ever met me like they weren't and they got scammed by a bunch of people and Hashem gave them a test and another test another test another test and literally they got tortured by different criminals one after another for like 10 15 years and I know multiple stories like this and eventually they met me and you know about Hashem we helped them and within a reasonable time frame helped them convert to but the point is that they would have never gotten to the uh destination of actual conversion of where they wanted to get to had they given Hashem a uh a time slot of when he's supposed to give them what they want they haven't they wouldn't have put uh a gun to hashem's head figuratively speaking but unfortunately many times people think that they could put a gun to hashem's head and they could tell them listen I want to do it I want to be this now and if you don't do it the way that uh that uh you know in this way that I'm gonna do it in a different way I'm gonna beat the system you're not beating anybody you're not being anybody and uh when Hashem wants a person to be uh successful in something whether that's through conversion or or business or marriage or having children or whatever it is Hashem will be the one that gives you the key to open the door if he doesn't no power in the world will make it so and I have several stories that I literally got over the last month and a half two months since I came from Israel a couple of people that went a different path they wanted to get conversion different way literally two different families unrelated completely went to uh some uh conversion uh that was quicker and faster and this and that and it looked great and what ends up happening now they have major problems one nobody wants to marry them the other one nobody wants to accept them in the community why because their conversion papers toilet paper according to everybody else so what ends up happening they have to actually do a whole new conversion even though they've already been living like Jews Orthodox Jews for a few years but according to the Orthodox Community everyone's considering them going why because they didn't follow the path that was supposed to now of course this in itself is also a test it's also a test but if a person is there to serve Hashem this shouldn't be a big deal they should just simply say okay it didn't work this way okay I'll do whatever I'm supposed to do no problem I won't try to beat the system ever again I'll simply do what that uh what the rabbi say but that's the problem many times people try to beat the system like they do try to beat the government and beat taxes and beat uh you know the uh you know everything don't try to beat the system there's a master of the world that runs the system there's an eye that's watching an ear that's listening and there's a hand that's writing every single thing that we do don't try to beat the system there is no such thing as success of beating Hashem system [Music] foreign [Music]
